Automation & Infrastructure as Code 
· Build and manage infrastructure automation using Terraform, Helm, and Kubernetes 
· Improve CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ensuring safe and automated rollouts, monitoring, and rollbacks 

Observability & Monitoring 
· Own and enhance the observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, Mimir, etc.) 
· Define and implement SLOs and error budgets; enable development teams to monitor and act on reliability metrics 

Incident Management 
· Lead major incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and blameless postmortems 
· Partner with product teams to define and enforce operational readiness standards before production releases 

Security & Compliance 
· Ensure platform-level security and compliance with organizational and regulatory standards 
· Collaborate with InfoSec and compliance teams to maintain a secure and auditable infrastructure 

Technical Leadership 
· Mentor junior SREs and developers on reliability practices, automation, and observability 
· Contribute to technical roadmaps and reliability-focused design reviews 

Have you got what it takes? 

•  5+ Years Strong experience with Kubernetes, EKS, ECS and containerized workloads in production
  · Expertise in AWS services (EC2, Lambda, IAM, RDS, S3, ALB/NLB, VPC, PrivateLink, etc.)
  · Proficiency with Terraform, Helm, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitOps (ArgoCD or Flux) 
  · Deep understanding of observability frameworks – metrics, logs, traces, and distributed monitoring 
  · Hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, Alloy, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent tools 
  · Strong knowledge of Linux, networking fundamentals, and system performance tuning
