Cloud Platform & DevOps Engineer: SRE|DevSecOps|DevOps|Site Operations|Cloud Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a versatile Cloud Platform & DevOps Engineer who can operate across the full spectrum of modern infrastructure disciplines — from reliability engineering and security automation to cloud operations and CI/CD delivery. You will work across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, OCI), help maintain production uptime, and drive platform maturity through automation, observability, and engineering best practices.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cloud Operations

• Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and/or OCI
• Operate and maintain Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS, OKE) across multiple regions
• Manage networking, load balancing, DNS, storage, and compute across cloud providers
• Maintain and improve infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Pulumi, or Bicep/ARM

DevOps & CI/CD

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps
• Implement GitOps workflows with FluxCD or ArgoCD and manage Helm chart releases
• Manage container registries (ECR, ACR, OCIR, Harbor) and image lifecycle
• Automate deployments, scaling, and configuration across environments

Security & Compliance (DevSecOps)

• Integrate security tooling into CI/CD: SAST, DAST, container scanning, and dependency audits
• Manage secrets using AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, OCI Vault, or HashiCorp Vault
• Enforce policy-as-code using OPA, Kyverno, or Azure Policy
• Implement RBAC, IAM roles, IRSA, Workload Identity, and least-privilege access controls
• Support compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS) through automated controls

Reliability & Site Operations (SRE)

• Define and track SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets; participate in on-call rotations
• Respond to and resolve production incidents; write detailed post-mortems
• Maintain observability stacks: Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, New Relic, or Azure Monitor
• Perform capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost optimization across cloud providers

Required Qualification

• 3+ years in DevOps, SRE, cloud engineering, or a related platform role
• Hands-on production Kubernetes experience (CKA or equivalent strongly preferred)
• Proficiency with at least two of: AWS, Azure, OCI — including compute, networking, IAM, and storage
• Strong IaC experience with Terraform or equivalent tooling
• Experience with GitOps tools (FluxCD, ArgoCD) and Helm-based deployments
• Solid scripting skills in Bash and Python; Go is a plus
• Familiarity with container security, secrets management, and supply chain controls
• Experience operating observability platforms and responding to production alerts

Nice to Have

• Cloud certifications: AWS Solutions Architect / DevOps Pro, Azure Administrator / DevOps Expert, OCI Architect
• Experience with service mesh (Linkerd, Istio) and advanced networking
• Knowledge of Kafka, MSK, or Event Hub for streaming infrastructure
• Familiarity with Keycloak, Active Directory/LDAP, or enterprise SSO integrations
• Background in payment processing, fintech, or subscription platforms
• Experience with custom Kubernetes operators or admission controllers

Soft Skills & Culture Fit

• Clear communicator — can translate complex infrastructure concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Collaborative mindset — works effectively across distributed, cross-functional teams
• Incident composure — stays calm and methodical under production pressure
• Documentation discipline — writes runbooks, post-mortems, and architecture decision records
• Continuous learner — proactively keeps up with cloud-native trends and emerging tooling
• Ownership mentality — sees issues through to resolution rather than passing the buck
• Constructive challenger — raises concerns early and proposes solutions, not just problems
