• Design, implement, and manage scalable and resilient cloud infrastructure solutions (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines to automate software build, test, and deployment processes.
• Implement and integrate various forms of automated testing, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, to ensure application quality.
• Proactively monitor application performance and system health, implementing alerting and logging solutions.
• Lead incident investigation and resolution efforts, performing root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
• Collaborate closely with software development teams to understand their needs and provide guidance on infrastructure and deployment best practices.
• Identify and address areas of technical debt within the application infrastructure and deployment processes, proposing and implementing strategic improvements.
• Contribute to the definition and enforcement of security best practices within the development and deployment lifecycle.
• Document infrastructure configurations, deployment processes, and troubleshooting guides.
• Stay current with the latest advancements in cloud technologies, DevOps practices, and automation tools.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers on application deployment and infrastructure topics.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Significant experience (5+ years) in a DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or similar role with a strong focus on application infrastructure and deployment.
• Deep understanding of cloud computing platforms and services (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and their architectural best practices.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using relevant tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Azure DevOps).
• Strong experience with various automated testing frameworks and methodologies.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex application and infrastructure issues in production environments.
• Proficiency in scripting languages for automation (e.g., Python, Bash).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively communicate technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
• Knowledge of security best practices in cloud environments and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies.
• Contributions to open-source projects related to DevOps or cloud technologies.
