About the role

• Senior DevOps Engineer managing multi-region cloud infrastructure for Gradion, enhancing observability and streamlining CI/CD processes.

Responsibilities

• Architect Infrastructure: Design and scale our multi-region cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) using Terraform or Pulumi to ensure 99.9% uptime.
• Master Orchestration: Manage and optimize our Kubernetes clusters (EKS/GKE), focusing on resource efficiency, autoscaling, and security hardening.
• Streamline CI/CD: Build and maintain high-performance deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) that make "deploy to production" a non-event.
• Enhance Observability: Implement and manage robust monitoring, logging, and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog) to catch issues before they affect users.
• Security & Compliance: Implement "Shift Left" security practices, managing IAM, VPC networking, and secret management (Vault).
• Culture of SRE: Lead the charge on incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and disaster recovery planning.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure roles, managing production-grade cloud environments.
• IaC Expertise: Mastery of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform is our primary tool) and configuration management (Ansible/Chef).
• Containerization Deep-Dive: Expert-level knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes—you understand how the networking and storage layers work under the hood.
• Scripting Mastery: Proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go for automating repetitive tasks and building internal tools.
• Security Mindset: A strong understanding of cloud security best practices and network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS).
• Problem Solver: You thrive in high-pressure situations and have a track record of scaling systems from thousands to millions of users.

Benefits

• Setup: laptop and full workstation.
• Health: Comprehensive family health insurance and life insurance.
• Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements and a culture of ownership.
• Rewards: Competitive salary based on seniority + milestone bonuses (marriage, childbirth, etc.).
