Job Description

Designation: Lead Devops Engineer
Office Location: Bangalore / Gurgaon / Mumbai.
About the Role
At RevX, infrastructure engineering operates at an extreme - our DSP handles 5M+ bid requests per second, backed by self-managed Aerospike clusters, high-throughput C/C++ bidding engines, and petabyte-scale GCP data pipelines. We are now expanding our Gen AI footprint to build intelligent automation across DevOps, observability, and AdTech operations.
We are looking for a technically exceptional Lead DevOps Engineer to own reliability, scalability, and platform automation across our entire production stack - driving architecture, mentoring the team, and setting the bar for infrastructure-as-code and AI-assisted operations.
What You'll Do
  • Infrastructure Cloud
    • Own end-to-end GCP architecture, provisioning, and cost optimization for high-QPS, low-latency ad serving
    • Drive capacity planning, security posture, and reliability standards across all environments
  • CI/CD Release Engineering
    • Architect and evolve Jenkins-based pipelines for C/C++, Java, and Angular workloads deployed on Rocky
  • Linux
    • Enforce zero-downtime deployment strategies, release governance, and artifact management
  • Observability Reliability
    • Define SLOs/SLAs; build and maintain Grafana and Graphite dashboards, alerting, and runbooks
    • Lead incident response, blameless post-mortems, and continuous reliability improvements
  • Gen AI Automation
    • Build LLM-powered DevOps tools - intelligent alerting, runbook automation, anomaly detection, and cost optimization bots
    • Drive CI/CD intelligence and AdTech-specific operational automation using Vertex AI and GCP-native AI services
  • Team Leadership
    • Lead, mentor, and grow the DevOps team; define best practices and set technical direction for platform engineering
  • Leadership Mindset
    • Strong ownership - you drive problems to resolution, not just escalate them
    • Clear communicator; able to translate infrastructure complexity to non-technical stakeholders
    • Data-driven, self-motivated, and thrives in high-ownership, fast-paced environments
  • IaC and Configuration Management
    • Champion an IaC-first culture with Terraform and Ansible across all environments and teams
What We're Looking For
Core Requirements
  • 7+ years in DevOps/SRE roles; 3+ years in a senior or lead capacity
  • Deep GCP expertise - Compute, GKE, Networking, IAM, BigQuery, Vertex AI
  • Hands-on Aerospike administration: cluster management, namespace design, tuning, XDR replication
  • Experience deploying and managing C/C++ applications on Rocky Linux / CentOS (GCC toolchain, RPM packaging)
  • Terraform (advanced): modular design, remote state, workspaces, policy-as-code
  • Jenkins pipeline architecture for compiled and frontend workloads; Ansible at scale
Observability Scripting
  • Grafana + Graphite: dashboard design, alerting rules, metric cardinality management
  • Scripting mastery in Bash and Python - automation, tooling, data processing
Databases Networking
  • MySQL/RDS - performance tuning, replication, and backup strategies
  • CloudFront CDN - cache policies, origin config; strong TCP/IP, DNS, and Linux internals knowledge
Leadership Mindset
  • Strong ownership - you drive problems to resolution, not just escalate them
  • Clear communicator; able to translate infrastructure complexity to non-technical stakeholders
  • Data-driven, self-motivated, and thrives in high-ownership, fast-paced environments
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience building Gen AI / LLM-powered internal tools - agents, chatbots, or workflow automation
  • Docker and Kubernetes (GKE) for containerized workload management
  • AdTech domain experience: DSP/SSP, Real-Time Bidding (RTB), OpenRTB
  • AWS working knowledge (EC2, S3, CloudFront)
Education
  • B.E. / B.Tech / BCA / MCS in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field
