• Contribute to GitOps-based deployments using ArgoCD.
• Help automate infrastructure with Terraform and other infrastructure-as-code tools.
• Monitor system health and participate in the on-call rotation, contributing to incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis to improve reliability.
• Document processes, create runbooks, and help improve operational practices.

• 4-6 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or related roles

• Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or GCP Cloud Monitoring/Logging).
• Understanding of distributed systems design and global traffic management.
• Awareness of security and compliance best practices in a cloud-native environment.

What We Offer
