  • Develop and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms to ensure optimal system performance and availability.
  • Drive the adoption of DevOps principles and practices throughout the software development lifecycle, ensuring seamless integration and continuous deployment processes.

Technical Expertise & Mentorship

  • Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends related to systems and cloud computing.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.

Required Qualifications

  • Cloud Platforms: 7+ years of experience with cloud computing platforms. Strong multi-cloud expertise required with AWS and Azure.
  • Cloud-Native Transformation: 7+ years of experience in rearchitecting large-scale monolithic applications to cloud-native architectures.
  • Container Orchestration: Strong expertise in Kubernetes (K8S) is required, including hands-on experience with both AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) and EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).
  • Networking: Strong experience with Cloud Networking, with the ability to design and resolve complex cloud networking architecture problems.
  • IaC: Expert knowledge of Terraform for infrastructure-as-code deployment and management.
