- Help implement and maintain monitoring, logging, and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Zabbix), and participate in on-call rotations to ensure high availability and low Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR).
- Contribute to embedding security best practices (OWASP Top 10, least privilege IAM, shift-left testing) into the SDLC and help automate security controls within pipelines.
- Support the management and automation of database infrastructure (MySQL, MongoDB), including provisioning, backups, and automated schema migrations.
- Automate and support the deployment, scaling, and operational health of core platform services (authentication, data pipelines, messaging) for internal consumers.
- Participate in technical design discussions, learn from architectural decisions related to infrastructure and operations, and help document runbooks and standards.
- Champion DevOps culture ("you build it, you run it") and share knowledge through demos, pair programming, and internal workshops.
Skills Required
- 1–3 years of professional experience in a DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) role, with a focus on automation, infrastructure, and CI/CD
- Hands-on experience working with and contributing to CI/CD pipelines
- Practical experience with Docker and exposure to Kubernetes, including writing Dockerfiles and debugging containerized applications
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Ansible
- Experience with at least one monitoring, logging, or alerting system (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Zabbix), and curiosity for SRE principles
- Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Bash) for automating common tasks
- Basic understanding of security best practices in the SDLC
- Good analytical skills and a methodical approach to troubleshooting system and infrastructure issues
- Clear English communication, collaborative spirit, and a growth mindset aligned with a culture of shared ownership and rapid feedback
