• Implement and maintain service configuration and deployment automation across environments (dev/test/stage/prod).

• Configure and manage cloud networking and access controls, including Security Groups.

• Implement and maintain monitoring/observability capabilities (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards) and establish actionable SLOs/SLIs.

• Plan and execute performance testing and scalability validation; partner with engineering to remediate bottlenecks and improve system performance.

• Collaborate with engineering, architecture, security, and client stakeholders to triage issues, estimate work, and continuously improve delivery and reliability.

Required skills:

• 5+ years of hands-on DevOps / Platform / SRE experience supporting production systems.

• Strong experience with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Demonstrated practical experience with DevOps tools and practices, with a clear focus on production readiness and operations.

• Experience designing and operating resilient systems (availability, scalability, fault tolerance).

• CI/CD experience, including adapting and improving existing pipelines; experience with Argo preferred.

• Containerization and orchestration experience with Docker and ECS.

• Scripting/automation skills with Python and/or Bash.

• Experience with service configuration and deployment automation.
