About the Role

As a Sr. DevOps Engineer / SRE, you will own CI/CD pipelines, multi-cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes/EKS operations, and production reliability across multiple high-throughput product pods. This is a hands-on and leadership role where you will design automation, reduce operational toil, enforce security/compliance, lead incident response, mentor junior engineers, and oversee complex release management.

Key Responsibilities

CI/CD & Release Management

• Design, implement, and maintain Jenkins declarative pipelines for 5–10 microservice pods.
• Lead release management across multiple environments, including production; target <10 mins deployment and fast rollback.
• Architect blue/green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies for high-availability systems.

Kubernetes & Containerization

• Operate and scale EKS/Kubernetes clusters; manage upgrades, Helm charts, service mesh, and resource tuning.
• Ensure containerized applications follow best practices for reliability and performance.

Observability, SLA & Reliability

• Implement monitoring and alerting (Datadog, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana).
• Define SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and proactively drive reliability improvements.

Security & Compliance

• Integrate SAST/DAST into CI pipelines (SonarQube, Checkmarx).
• Enforce IAM, secrets management, and cloud security best practices.

Cost & Performance

• Run FinOps initiatives: optimize instance types, reserved vs. spot usage, and propose measurable cost savings.
• Conduct load/stress testing and tuning to maximize performance.

Support & On-call

• Lead P0/P1 incidents; mentor L1/L2 engineers during incident response.
• Own escalation processes and post-mortems; track MTTR improvements.

Requirements

• 8–10 years experience in production AWS environments (EKS/ECS, networking, VPC, ALB/NLB).
• Hands-on Jenkins (declarative pipelines) and Terraform/Terragrunt.
• Kubernetes operational expertise (cluster upgrades, Helm, service mesh, troubleshooting).
• Strong Linux system administration and scripting (Bash, Python, Perl).
• Experience with monitoring/observability tools (Datadog, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana).
• Proven history of on-call ownership and incident leadership.
• CI/CD implementation experience and release management across multiple environments.
