• Design, build, and maintain highly available, fault-tolerant infrastructure supporting a high-throughput, real-time data platform.
• Lead the evolution of CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment velocity, safety, and developer experience across dozens of engineering teams.
• Own infrastructure-as-code standards (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) and drive adoption of GitOps practices.
• Champion observability and reliability practices — SLOs/SLIs, incident response, on-call processes, and postmortems — to reduce MTTR and prevent recurrence.
• Partner with Security to embed guardrails for secrets management, network segmentation, vulnerability remediation, and compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.).
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to mid-level and senior DevOps/SRE engineers; conduct design and code reviews.
• Drive cost-optimization initiatives across cloud spend without compromising reliability or performance.

• Strong hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi) and configuration management tools.
• Proven track record building and scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, ArgoCD).
• Solid scripting/programming ability in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling.
• Experience building and operating complex distributed systems
• Proficient in high level script languages such as Python or Groovy
• Experience developing solutions leveraging Docker
• Experience managing Linux (Ubuntu) systems
