Technical Lead

We are looking for a technically strong and hands-on DevOps / SRE Lead with deep expertise across the modern DevOps toolchain, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering practices. The ideal candidate will have experience in designing, building, and operating cloud-native infrastructure on Azure and on-premise data centers using infrastructure-as-code principles (Ansible, Terraform). This role demands deep expertise across the modern DevOps toolchain, cloud infrastructure, and platform engineering practices.

Roles and Responsibility

• Design, build, and operate cloud-native infrastructure on Azure and on-premise data centers using infrastructure-as-code principles.

• Drive adoption of Platform Engineering practices, building internal developer platforms leveraging Backstage or equivalent to reduce cognitive load on dev teams.
• Manage and optimize container image lifecycle, registries, and multi-environment deployment strategies.
• Implement full-stack observability using the OpenTelemetry standard, including metrics (Prometheus/Thanos), logs (Loki/EFK/OpenSearch), and traces (Jaeger/Tempo).
• Build and maintain Grafana dashboards, runbooks, and SLI/SLO frameworks, driving error-budget culture with tech/product teams.
• Lead incident response and continuous reliability improvement efforts.
• Embed security into every layer: network policies, RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper policies in Kubernetes, and image signing (Cosign/Notary).

• Expert-level Kubernetes operations: Helm chart authoring, Kustomize, admission webhooks, HPA, cluster upgrades, multi-tenancy patterns.
• Experience with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) traffic shaping and observability.
• Container runtime security (Falco, Snyk) and registry management.
• Proficiency in at least two programming languages (Python, Go, Bash) for tooling, automation, and custom operators/controllers.
• Experience writing Kubernetes operators or CRDs is a strong plus.
• Production experience with Prometheus + manager + Thanos/Cortex, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry Collector, Jaeger, or Tempo.
