Staff Devops Engineer

Experience: 10+ yrs

Location: Bengaluru

We are looking for an experienced Principal DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) to lead infrastructure reliability, cloud platform engineering, automation, and performance optimisation across large-scale production systems. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in AWS, distributed systems, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, and Linux environments.

This role requires a strong engineering mindset, with a focus on building resilient, scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure. You will drive improvements in system reliability, deployment automation, observability, and operational excellence while supporting the performance and availability requirements of critical production workloads.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Design, maintain, and optimise scalable, secure, and highly available AWS cloud infrastructure for large-scale production systems.
• Drive capacity planning, infrastructure performance tuning, resource optimisation, and cloud cost management.
• Manage and optimise AWS services, including ECS, EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, Kinesis, WAF, Systems Manager (SSM), and Secrets Manager.
• Improve production reliability, availability, resilience, and recovery capabilities across distributed systems.
• Enhance observability through monitoring, centralised logging, distributed tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards.
• Strengthen incident management, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and preventive measures for recurring production issues.
• Design and implement infrastructure automation using Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or similar Infrastructure as Code tools.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and related automation technologies.
• Implement GitOps practices and improve deployment workflows to enable consistent, secure, and repeatable releases.
• Build automation tools and utilities using Go, Python, or Shell scripting to reduce manual operational effort.
• Troubleshoot complex issues involving Linux production environments, networking, system internals, and distributed application architectures.
• Collaborate with engineering and platform teams to improve application scalability, infrastructure design, and deployment reliability.
• Establish infrastructure standards, operational best practices, and reusable automation frameworks.
• Drive continuous improvements in cloud security, configuration management, operational efficiency, and engineering productivity.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance on DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, and production engineering practices.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure.
• Strong experience operating large-scale distributed production systems, preferably within established product-based or fintech organisations.
• Deep hands-on expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure and services, including compute, networking, databases, security, and monitoring.
• Strong understanding of Linux production environments, system internals, networking, and troubleshooting.
• Solid knowledge of distributed systems, asynchronous architectures, scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or Shell scripting for infrastructure automation and operational tooling.
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or equivalent tools.
• Extensive experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and implementing GitOps practices.
• Strong understanding of monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and production observability.
• Proven ability to drive capacity planning, performance optimisation, cloud cost control, and infrastructure reliability improvements.
• Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills, with the ability to resolve complex production issues.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to take ownership of critical infrastructure initiatives, make sound technical decisions, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• A continuous-improvement mindset with a strong focus on automation, reliability, security, and operational excellence.
