We are seeking an autonomous, highly skilled DevOps to build, maintain, optimize, and scale critical infrastructure, cloud operations, and automation workflows. The ideal candidate operates independently, takes full ownership of tasks, learns complex product ecosystems quickly, and demonstrates disciplined communication and delivery standards.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure as Code & Orchestration: Design, implement, and manage robust, scalable infrastructure solutions using Terraform, Docker/Podman, and Kubernetes.

Configuration Management & Automation: Build and maintain configuration management routines using SaltStack and Ansible, scripting automations in Python and Ruby.

Cloud Operations & Administration: Operate and maintain customer-facing and internal Microsoft Azure and M365 environments, assisting with new solution architectures.

Linux Systems & Networking Administration: Administer Linux distributions (deep expertise in Ubuntu and its dependencies) alongside core networking protocols (TCP/UDP, DNS, routing, firewall policies).

Database & Web Service Management: Manage and optimize PostgreSQL (high availability/performance), Redis caching, and Nginx web servers.

Security, Secrets & CI/CD: Maintain secure secrets management via Vault server and enforce standard Git CI/CD branching/pull-request practices.

Monitoring & Observability: Deploy and maintain alerting and observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, and Dash for critical performance insights.

Candidate Requirements & Competencies

A. Technical Stack Experience

Experience Level: 5+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineer role (or 2+ to 5+ years spanning hybrid Linux/Microsoft Cloud operations).

Operating Systems & Networking: Deep Linux/Ubuntu administration; solid comprehension of network fundamentals and transport protocols (TCP vs. UDP).

IaC & Containers: Production-grade Terraform, Kubernetes orchestration, and Docker/Podman containerization.

Configuration Management

Hands-on SaltStack (Ansible experience a strong plus).

Scripting & Code

Solid proficiency in Python; Ruby experience is a significant plus.

Observability & Storage

Prometheus, Grafana, Dash, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Vault.

Version Control: Daily Git proficiency (branching strategies, PR reviews, merge conflict resolution, frequent commits).

AI & Modern Tooling: Practical utilization of developer tooling and AI-assisted workflows beyond basic browser prompting to accelerate automation.

B. Work Ethic, Communication & Professional Traits

Autonomous Execution: Strong self-organization; ability to execute and deliver without micro-management or babysitting.

Fast Learning & Adaptability: Ability to ramp up quickly across multiple products and service environments.

Transparent Communication: Proactively flags blockers, collaborates on solutions, and accepts technical feedback.

Operational Discipline: High availability and responsiveness across Slack/Teams during work hours, with strict adherence to team status reporting and presence guidelines.
