Platform Engineering/DevOps/SRE role on the infrastructure team, designing, building and maintaining scalable platforms and infrastructure that power applications, bridging development and operations with a focus on reliability, automation and operational excellence.

What you'll do

• Design, implement and maintain scalable, secure and highly available cloud infrastructure primarily on Microsoft Azure and Databricks, with working knowledge of AWS or GCP
• Build and manage infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), Ansible, Helm and Argo CD
• Develop, optimize and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker and other modern DevOps toolsets
• Implement and enhance observability solutions including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog and Dynatrace to ensure platform health, performance and reliability
• Drive SRE best practices by defining and managing SLAs, SLOs, Error Budgets and reliability metrics
• Establish and improve operational KPIs such as MTTA, MTTD, MTTR and MTBF
• Participate in on-call rotations, incident management, root cause analysis and implementation of preventive and corrective actions
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure, networking, platform and application performance issues across distributed cloud environments
• Automate manual operational processes and develop reusable tooling, runbooks and operational documentation
• Partner closely with engineering, architecture, security and product teams to deliver resilient and scalable platform solutions
• Champion cloud security, governance, compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, CIS benchmarks), infrastructure modernization and cost optimization initiatives
• Evaluate, recommend and integrate emerging technologies and tools to continuously improve the platform ecosystem
• Manage production incidents and apply SRE practices and reliability engineering frameworks
• Apply strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash, PowerShell or similar technologies

What you'll need

• 3-5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering or infrastructure roles
• Strong proficiency in one or more cloud platforms: Azure, GCP or AWS
• Experience with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, ARM, Ansible, or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with CI/CD tools and pipeline development
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, Bash, Java) for scripting and automation
• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or similar)
• Understanding of Linux/Unix system administration and networking fundamentals
• Experience responding to incidents and debugging production issues
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with development teams

Nice to have

• BE/B Tech in Computer Science, ECE/Electrical Engineering
• DevOps or Cloud Certification in Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud Platform is preferred
• Certifications in Infrastructure as Code and Configuration Management tools such as Terraform and Ansible are highly desirable
• Relevant certifications such as Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, HashiCorp Terraform Associate or Red Hat Ansible Automation will be an added advantage
