Kubernetes & Containerization: Deploy, manage, and improve Kubernetes platforms (EKS preferred); define container best practices, scaling policies, and resilience patterns.

Automation & CI/CD: Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines; automate operational workflows and reduce toil via scripting and platform tooling.

Security & Compliance: Partner with security to enforce IAM least privilege, encryption, audit logging, vulnerability management, and DevSecOps practices aligned with ISO/SOC2-style controls.

Collaboration: Work closely with Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Product teams to improve service ownership, operational readiness, and delivery quality.

Mentorship: Coach engineers on SRE practices, documentation/runbooks, and a “you build it, you run it” mindset—raising the overall reliability bar.

Requirements

Experience: Minimum of 4–6 years in SRE/DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure roles supporting production systems.

Cloud Expertise (AWS): Strong hands-on experience with core AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, etc.) and cloud security best practices.

Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency with Terraform (preferred) and/or CloudFormation/CDK; comfortable with GitOps-style workflows for infrastructure changes.

Automation: Proficient in scripting/programming for automation (Bash, Python, or Go) with a focus on reducing operational toil.

CI/CD: Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) and safe deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rollback).

Version Control: Proficient with Git and collaborative development workflows.

Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
