JOB Description:

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

• Own and operate production infrastructure on AWS, ensuring reliability, availability, scalability, and performance.
• Design, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform, including reusable modules, state management, imports, and infrastructure changes.
• Review Terraform plans carefully and assess the potential impact of infrastructure changes before implementation.
• Manage and operate production Kubernetes environments, including cluster upgrades, ingress, RBAC, resource limits, workload troubleshooting, and operational maintenance.
• Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot Helm charts for application deployment and configuration management.
• Implement and maintain GitOps / declarative delivery practices using tools such as ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent platforms.
• Design, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines, preferably using GitHub Actions, to enable reliable and repeatable software delivery.
• Troubleshoot Linux systems, networking issues, application deployments, containers, and infrastructure-related production incidents.
• Work closely with engineering and application teams to understand infrastructure requirements and ensure smooth deployment and operation of services.
• Develop automation scripts using Python and/or Bash to eliminate repetitive operational tasks and improve engineering efficiency.
• Monitor system health, performance, availability, and reliability and proactively identify potential production issues.
• Contribute to infrastructure security, access management, secrets management, and operational hardening.
• Participate in incident investigation, root-cause analysis, and implementation of preventive measures.
• Continuously evaluate infrastructure cost, capacity, scalability, and operational efficiency.

Key Deliverables

• Stable, scalable, and highly reliable AWS production infrastructure.
• Infrastructure managed through Terraform and declarative configuration practices.
• Well-maintained and production-ready Kubernetes clusters and workloads.
