About the profile

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to design and implement robust engineering processes and platforms. This position requires a comprehensive understanding that DevOps extends beyond tooling to encompass effective collaboration among teams. The ideal candidate will be a critical link between development – infrastructure – security; architecting scalable, secure and repeatable solutions that enable rapid software delivery while maintaining high standard standards.

The role operates at a system-wide level: establishing best practices, shaping the software development lifecycle (SDLC), integrating security into pipelines, developing platforms that empower teams to work efficiently and safely. While hands-on technical involvement is required - the primary contribution of this role lies in architectural leadership, strategic decision-making and process optimization.

Responsibilities

  • Process & Platform Design
    • Design and evolve end-to-end SDLC with built-in security, compliance and operational controls.
    • Define where governance is mandatory and where it can be safely automated or delegated.
    • Establish clear responsibility boundaries (RACI) between Dev, Ops, Security teams.
    • Translate business and risk requirements into technical guardrails, not manual gates.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship
    • Act as a technical partner to development teams.
    • Coach engineers on reliability, deployment safety and operational ownership.
    • Facilitate cross-team discussions, turning conflicts into process improvements.
    • Document architectural decisions, trade-offs and constraints in clear language.
  •  CI/CD & Automation
    • Architect and maintain CI/CD platforms that enable fast, reliable and low-risk deployments.
    • Standardize pipelines and environments while allowing controlled flexibility for teams.
    • Reduce manual work and operational toil through automation.
  • Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture
    • Own Infrastructure as Code as a single source of truth (Terraform).
    • Design cloud architectures in Azure  and AWS with focus on reliability, scalability and cost awareness.
    • Ensure environment parity across dev, staging, and production.
    • Support containerized and Kubernetes-based platforms.
  • Reliability & Observability
    • Define and implement SLIs, SLOs and error budgets as a shared language between teams.
    • Build observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) as a trust mechanism
    • Lead incident response practices, including postmortems and systemic improvements.

Requirements - Must have

  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.
  • Proven experience designing processes.

  • Ability to explain complex technical and security topics in simple non-confrontational language.

Requirements - Nice to have

  • Experience introducing or evolving DevOps/SRE practices in organizations with existing silos.
  • Cloud or DevOps certifications.
  • Experience with microservices architectures and API-based systems.
