In this role, you will take ownership of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, reliability, and security of a highly available, cloud-native SaaS B2B system built on microservices architecture. You will work closely with software engineers, product, and security teams to ensure our platform is scalable, resilient, and production-ready at all times.

- Ensure security, compliance, and best practices across cloud and production environments.
- Take full ownership of DevOps processes from development to production and beyond.
Must-Haves:
- Proven experience as a DevOps / Platform / Infrastructure Engineer in production environments.
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Experience working with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and Docker.
- Solid understanding of CI/CD systems and release automation.
- Strong understanding of system reliability, monitoring, performance, and security.
- Experience working with infrastructure-as-code tools.
- Self-driven, proactive mindset with strong ownership and problem-solving skills.
Significant Advantages:
- Experience with highly available microservices architectures.
- Familiarity with Python and supporting backend teams in production environments.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
- Knowledge of cloud security, identity, or cybersecurity-related systems.
- Experience working in fast-paced startups or high-ownership environments.
- Experience supporting real-time or latency-sensitive systems.
