Reliability Engineering & Cloud Operations

  • Utilize  Kubernetes (K8S)  for container orchestration and management, ensuring extreme scalability, reliability, and high availability of the system.
  • Implement robust, highly resilient, and highly available components for the system.
  • 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.
