DevOps Engineer | Multi-Billion Dollar Startup | Own Reliability at Internet Scale

The role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, platform engineering, and site reliability, with ownership across build, deploy, run, and scale phases.

Key Responsibilities 

• Own the reliability, availability, and performance of large-scale distributed systems

• Design, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters supporting microservices architectures

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, safe, and repeatable deployments

• Implement and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code principles

• Improve system resilience through proactive monitoring, alerting, and observability

• Participate in production incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident reviews

• Continuously reduce operational toil through automation and self-healing systems

Technology Stack & Tools

• Cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Containerization and orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Skaffold

• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

• Observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, centralized logging, and distributed tracing

• Scripting and automation: Python, Shell scripting, Linux tooling

Required Experience & Skills

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps Engineering, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles

• Strong experience managing production Kubernetes environments

• Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures and microservices-based systems

• Proven experience with CI/CD systems and release automation

• Strong troubleshooting skills in live production environments

• Solid knowledge of monitoring, alerting, incident management, and postmortem practices

• Automation-first mindset with a strong bias toward scalable, repeatable systems

What Makes This Role Impactful

This role directly influences system scalability, platform stability, and customer experience. The work done here impacts engineering velocity, infrastructure costs, and overall business reliability. The position partners closely with software engineering teams to influence platform architecture and long-term technical decisions.

Who This Role Is Best Suited For

Engineers who enjoy solving infrastructure problems at scale, taking ownership of production systems, and building platforms that grow without constant manual intervention. Ideal for someone who sees reliability as a core product feature and automation as a non-negotiable standard.
