Responsibilities
Architect, deploy, and manage high‑availability, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments
Implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform, Ansible, and similar tools to ensure consistent, version-controlled, and fully automated environment provisioning
Design and manage Kubernetes/OpenShift clusters, including node management, autoscaling, ingress/routing, RBAC, quotas, and security policies
Optimize cloud resources through right‑sizing, workload tuning, and cost‑governance practices
Build, enhance, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, or similar tools to support automated build, test, and deployment workflows
Implement blue‑green, rolling, and canary deployment strategies to ensure zero‑downtime releases for mission‑critical applications
Integrate automated testing frameworks, code-quality gates, and security scans into the pipeline to ensure compliance and reliability
Containerize applications using Docker and deploy them via Kubernetes/Helm/OpenShift for scalable, resilient microservice environments
Improve service reliability through resource tuning, autoscaling (HPA/VPA), service mesh patterns, and optimized workload distribution
Deploy and maintain observability pipelines using Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, Datadog, ELK/EFK, or similar tools to provide deep visibility into system health
Build dashboards and alerts for proactive issue detection, significantly reducing MTTR through automation and intelligent triage
Conduct root‑cause analysis, capacity planning, and performance optimization across distributed systems
Implement cloud security practices including IAM/RBAC, key management, secrets rotation, network policies, and encryption in transit/at rest
Automate compliance checks for SOC2, HIPAA, PCI‑DSS, or internal governance frameworks through policy-as-code and CI/CD integration
Ensure secure container images, infrastructure baselines, audit trails, and vulnerability scanning across environments
Design and optimize VPC/VNet architectures, load balancers, DNS, ingress/egress routing, firewall rules, and hybrid connectivity
Implement resilient traffic strategies such as multi‑region failover, geo‑redundancy, and fault‑tolerant service routing
Develop automation scripts with Python, Shell, Groovy, or PowerShell to eliminate manual tasks, reduce operational toil, and speed up deployments
Build internal tools, templates, and reusable modules to standardize and accelerate infrastructure provisioning
Collaborate closely with development, QA, and architecture teams to streamline release workflows and improve platform reliability
Implement and maintain SLOs, SLIs, and SLAs, ensuring service reliability and performance targets are consistently met
Drive continuous improvement through chaos engineering, disaster recovery planning, resilience testing, and failover simulations
Conduct periodic system reviews, implement performance enhancements, and proactively mitigate production risks
