• Develop automation and tooling to eliminate manual operations and improve system consistency.
• Implement and manage infrastructure‑as‑code using modern frameworks and best practices.
• Drive reliability engineering practices including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and incident response.
• Enhance observability through metrics, logging, tracing, and actionable alerting.
• Optimize system performance and capacity to support growth and cost efficiency.
• Lead complex troubleshooting efforts across distributed systems and production environments.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure infrastructure supports evolving product needs.
• Strengthen security and compliance posture through hardened infrastructure and best practices.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to a culture of operational excellence.

• 8+ years of experience in SRE, Dev Ops, or infrastructure engineering with hands‑on ownership of production systems.
• Deep knowledge of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, and distributed systems.
• Proficiency with IaC tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Cloud Formation.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid programming or scripting skills in Python, Go, Bash, or similar.
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD systems and automated deployment pipelines.
• Strong observability background using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Open Telemetry, or similar.
• Proven incident management experience in high‑availability environments.

• Experience with hybrid or multi‑cloud environments.
• Knowledge of infrastructure security including secrets management and zero‑trust principles.
• Background with large‑scale distributed systems or high‑throughput architectures.
• Open‑source contributions in SRE, infrastructure, or cloud‑native ecosystems.

• Highly reliable, scalable infrastructure that supports rapid product growth.
• Reduced operational toil through automation and self‑service capabilities.
• Clear, actionable observability enabling fast detection and resolution of issues.
• Efficient, cost‑optimized systems across cloud and on‑prem environments.
