  • Manage CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Bitbucket Pipelines (custom shared libraries in Groovy)
  • Manage observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, New Relic, and Status Cake across infrastructure, APM, and alerting layers.
  • Manage Secrets, IAM, KMS policies, and secure cross-account integrations (via VPC peering or AWS Private Link)
  • Handle VPN infrastructure and manage infrastructure access for globally distributed teams
  • Lead root cause investigations and performance optimizations for key services
  • Guide and mentor junior DevOps engineers on best practices, reviews, and design

  • Solid understanding of container orchestration: Kubernetes (EKS preferred)
  • Must hold a valid Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) credential.
  • Strong CI/CD exposure: Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines, Groovy-based shared libraries
  • Familiarity with PHP environments, including Laravel on Lambda (Bref)
  • Deep understanding of monitoring/observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, New Relic.
  • Linux system administration, shell scripting, and at least one scripting language (Python/Ruby preferred)

Nice to Have:

  • Past ownership of complex migrations (K8s clusters, account transfers, IAM realignments)
  • Background in infrastructure cost control (Savings Plans, RI management)
  • Strong automation experience using Packer, Ansible, and scripting for operational workflows such as AMI creation, queue processing, and scheduled.
  • system reporting.
  • Familiarity with data pipelines or ETL processes, including DMS
