Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD to support a robust and efficient software delivery lifecycle.

• Manage and maintain infrastructure on cloud platforms (especially GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices with tools such as Terraform.

• Deploy and operate applications on Kubernetes (GKE), including configuration for autoscaling, security, and cost optimization.

• Utilize tools such as ArgoCD to implement GitOps and automate deployments across multiple environments.

• Build and manage monitoring and alerting systems using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Monitoring (Stackdriver), and other observability tools.

• Collaborate with Development, QA, and Security teams to ensure systems are performant, secure, and auditable.

• Manage and maintain database systems such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB with a focus on performance, availability, and backup strategies.

• Investigate and resolve production issues related to system performance, reliability, and scalability.

• Contribute to the design of Disaster Recovery and High Availability strategies.

• Advocate and lead the adoption of DevOps best practices within the team and provide technical mentorship to peers.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or related fields.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.

• Proficiency in working with cloud platforms, especially Cloud Platform (GCP) and its services (e.g., GKE, Cloud SQL, VPC, Load Balancer, IAM, Cloud Storage).

• Strong experience in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI.

• Solid understanding of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or Pulumi.

• Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters (GKE) including deployments, workloads, and cluster operations.

• Proficient in writing and managing YAML configuration files, and experienced with tools like ArgoCD, Helm, Kustomize, Vault, Istio, Envoy, and Kong.

• Strong knowledge of monitoring/logging systems, including Prometheus, Grafana, and cloud-native observability tools.

• Operational experience with relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

• Solid understanding of Linux systems and the ability to write shell scripts (bash/sh) for automation and system troubleshooting.

• Good understanding of security principles including IAM, secret management, and network policy configuration.

• Experience working with large-scale systems involving high availability, scalability, and microservices architecture.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (e.g., Development, QA, Product, Security).
