DevOps Engineer

Overview

Encord is hiring a DevOps Engineer to join its platform engineering team in India, embedded in the teams that build and operate the company's core infrastructure to keep the platform performant, reliable, observable and scalable.

What you'll do

• Own and continuously improve deployment pipelines; partner with developers to review infrastructure changes, streamline release processes and champion DevOps best practices across the engineering group.
• Design, deploy and maintain cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS; manage Kubernetes clusters, networking and storage at petabyte scale, with infrastructure-as-code as the default.
• Build, guide and review automation and internal tooling efforts across the engineering group; eliminate manual toil wherever it exists.
• Profile and optimise services handling large-scale data pipelines; perform capacity planning for storage and compute-intensive workloads and work with squads to establish performance benchmarks.
• Define and own SLIs/SLOs/SLAs for critical services; build alerting, runbooks and incident response processes; lead postmortems with a blameless culture.
• Instrument services with distributed tracing, logging and metrics (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, GCP Dashboards or similar); define observability best practices and work with each squad to ensure every service is observable before it goes to production.

What you'll need

• 4+ years of hands-on DevOps, platform engineering or SRE experience in a production environment.
• Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation at scale.
• Proven experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi) and configuration management.
• Strong fundamentals in designing, building and maintaining resilient distributed and/or high performance systems.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerised workloads in cloud environments (GCP and/or AWS).
• Solid understanding of networking, operating systems and database technologies.
• Experience with observability fundamentals: metrics, logs, traces and alerting.

Nice to have

• Experience across the company's tech stack (Python backend, TypeScript and React frontend, Kubernetes, GCP, PyTorch, CUDA, Ray); the company is technology agnostic, so openness to learning is what matters.

Details

• Location: India.
• Embedded in the platform engineering team in India.
