- Analyze cloud infrastructure and workloads to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising performance, reliability, or security.
- Optimize cloud resource utilization, including compute, storage, databases, networking, Kubernetes workloads, and reserved/committed resources.
- Monitor and manage cloud spending, identify unnecessary or underutilized resources, and recommend practical cost-optimization strategies.
- Work with clients to assess their existing cloud infrastructure and propose cost-efficient architecture and deployment approaches.
- Implement cloud security practices, including IAM, secrets management, access controls, and secure deployment processes.
- Collaborate with software engineers, architects, QA, security, and product teams.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to DevOps and engineering team members.
- Participate in client discovery meetings and technical discussions with international clients.
- Understand client requirements, technical challenges, infrastructure environments, and business objectives.
- Recommend appropriate cloud, DevOps, infrastructure, and deployment solutions.
- Support technical proposals, solution architecture, project scoping, effort estimation, and timelines.
- Present technical solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Work closely with the Business Development and Engineering teams to support opportunity qualification and project handover.
Required Qualifications
- 5-8+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, SRE, or a related field.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD.

- Strong understanding of cloud security, IAM, secrets management, and secure deployment practices.
- Experience with microservices and cloud-native architectures.
- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with cloud cost management and optimization across AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Understanding of cloud pricing models, resource utilization, autoscaling, rightsizing, and cost-efficient architecture.
Client-Facing Skills
- Experience working with international clients in a technical capacity.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Ability to conduct technical discovery and requirement-gathering discussions.
- Ability to translate business requirements into practical technical solutions.
- Confidence in presenting technical concepts and architecture to clients.
- Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Experience supporting technical pre-sales, solution consulting, or client solutioning is preferred.
- Ability to explain cloud infrastructure costs, optimization opportunities, and technical trade-offs to clients in a clear and practical manner.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with Helm, ArgoCD, Ansible, or similar tools.
- Experience with AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or Google GKE.
- Knowledge of GitOps practices.
- Experience with high availability, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
- Experience with cloud cost-management tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Trusted Advisor, Azure Cost Management, Google Cloud Billing, or similar platforms.
