- You will get to push your boundaries and learn from the best.
Results Expected
- Within 3 months:
- Achieve 99.99% uptime across all critical services (Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch)
- Reduce infrastructure provisioning time by 50% through automation and IaC implementation
- Within 6 months:
- Implement comprehensive disaster recovery architecture with <10 minute RTO (Recovery Time Objective)
- Deploy automated monitoring and alerting system that reduces incident detection time to <2 minutes
- Identify and productize a manual process into a self-service plugin for the our Engineering Portal, enabling engineers to achieve consistent results with the same high standards.
- Within 12 months:
- Scale platform to handle 10x current transaction volume without performance degradation
- Establish GitOps workflows that enable daily deployments with zero manual intervention
Technical Competencies
- Infrastructure Mastery:
- Design and operate Kubernetes clusters in hybrid cloud/on-premise environments
- Manage PostgreSQL databases at scale with replication, backup, and performance optimization
- Implement and maintain Redis and Elasticsearch clusters for high-availability scenarios
- Automation & DevOps:
- Develop automated workflows that enable engineers to move faster while ensuring everything is secure.
- Build Infrastructure as Code using Terraform/Ansible
- Implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD for continuous delivery
- Create monitoring and observability solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
- System Reliability:
- Design fault-tolerant architectures across cloud and on-premise infrastructure
- Troubleshoot complex system issues under pressure
- Implement security best practices for network and infrastructure components
Cultural Competencies
- First Principles Thinking: Questions existing infrastructure assumptions, designs solutions from root causes rather than patching symptoms. Asks "why do we need this?" before "how do we build this?"
- Speed Meets Quality: Moves fast to implement critical infrastructure changes while maintaining rigorous testing and rollback procedures. Balances rapid deployment with system stability.
- 200% Ownership: Takes end-to-end responsibility for platform reliability. When systems fail, doesn't just fix the immediate issue but implements preventive measures. Owns the entire infrastructure lifecycle from design to decommissioning.
