DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer

The DevOps Engineer is responsible for designing, automating, deploying, and operating cloud infrastructure and application platforms using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), with Terraform as a core toolset. This role partners with development, security, and operations teams to improve deployment velocity, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across environments. The role is hands on and plays a key part in platform engineering, cloud modernization, and DevOps transformation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
  • Design, build, and maintain cloud infrastructure using Terraform.
  • Create reusable, versioned Terraform modules for shared infrastructure components.
  • Manage Terraform state, workspaces, backends, and secrets securely.
  • Enforce infrastructure standards, naming conventions, and tagging strategies.
  • Support multi environment (dev/test/prod) and multi account/subscription deployments.
• Cloud Infrastructure & Platforms
  • Provision and manage infrastructure in AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
  • Deploy and maintain compute, storage, networking, IAM, and platform services.
  • Support Kubernetes and containerized workloads (EKS/AKS/GKE or equivalent).
  • Optimize infrastructure for performance, scalability, availability, and cost.
• CI/CD & Automation
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, application deployment, and configuration management.
  • Integrate infrastructure pipelines with code repositories and approval workflows.
  • Promote GitOps and automation-first practices.
• Monitoring, Reliability & Operations
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Datadog, or similar.
  • Support incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements.
  • Implement resiliency patterns (auto scaling, failover, backup, DR).
  • Tune systems for stability and operational excellence.
• Security & Compliance
  • Implement infrastructure security best practices: IAM least privilege access, secrets management, network segmentation.
  • Integrate security scanning and policy checks into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Support compliance, audit, and governance requirements.
• Collaboration & Enablement
  • Partner with development teams to enable self service infrastructure and pipelines.
  • Collaborate with security and architecture teams on platform design.
  • Document patterns, runbooks, and best practices.
  • Promote DevOps culture and continuous improvement across teams.

Required Qualifications

• DevOps & Terraform Experience
  • 4–8 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering.
  • 3 years of hands-on Terraform experience in production environments.
  • Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code concepts and lifecycle management.
  • Experience managing Terraform modules, state, and remote backends.
• Cloud & Platform Skills
  • Strong experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (at least one).
  • Knowledge of cloud networking, IAM, compute, storage, and load balancing.
  • Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• CI/CD & Tooling
  • Experience designing CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong Git-based workflow experience.
  • Familiarity with configuration management tools (Ansible, Chef, or similar).
• Scripting & Automation
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
  • Ability to automate repetitive tasks and operational workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise.
• Exposure to GitOps tools (Argo CD, Flux).
• Experience with policy-as-code (OPA, Sentinel).
• Knowledge of cloud cost optimization (FinOps).
• Cloud or DevOps certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, HashiCorp).

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work across development, security, and operations teams.
• Clear communication and documentation skills.
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile environments.
