• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or Helm for automated, repeatable deployments.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD) for cloud-native applications and microservices.
• Manage multi-cloud/hybrid environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) including networking, storage, security, monitoring, and cost optimization.
• Ensure high availability, scalability, disaster recovery, and security best practices (zero-trust, encryption, RBAC, secrets management).
• Perform cloud migrations, modernization of legacy applications to cloud-native patterns, and workload optimization.
• Collaborate with development, security, and operations teams to embed DevOps practices and support 24/7 production environments.
• Monitor infrastructure performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch/Azure Monitor).
• Stay current with cloud-native trends, contribute to platform roadmaps, and mentor team members.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred for senior roles).

• Strong hands-on expertise in Kubernetes (administration, scaling, networking, Helm charts) and containerization (Docker).
• Proficiency in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and IaC tools (Terraform preferred).
• Experience with CI/CD tools, Linux/Unix systems, scripting (Python/Bash), and networking concepts (VPC, subnets, load balancers).
• Knowledge of cloud security, compliance, and monitoring practices.

Preferred

• Certifications: Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Azure Administrator/Architect, Google Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, or Terraform Associate.
• Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), serverless architectures, GitOps, or multi-cloud strategies.
