  • Establish and apply consistent procedures and best practices for managing and delivering the cloud platform to meet agreed-upon Service-Level Objectives (SLOs).
  • Architect systems with redundancy, fault tolerance, and high availability to handle fluctuating workloads and minimize downtime.
  • Design and implement robust security controls, monitoring for threats, ensuring compliance with industry regulations like GDPR or HIPAA.
  • Set up comprehensive monitoring and observability tools to track key metrics and performance bottlenecks.
  • Evaluate and optimize cloud service costs and usage.

  • Work closely with software developers, DevOps & CloudOps engineers, security teams, and business stakeholders to align technical solutions with organizational goals.

Requirements

  • Deep Cloud Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing complex, production-grade cloud environments across at least one major provider (AWS is preferred, Azure, or GCP), with exposure to multi-cloud concepts.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced proficiency with IaC tools such as Terraform for managing and provisioning infrastructure in a declarative, repeatable manner.

  • Networking and Security: Expert knowledge of cloud networking (VPCs, VNETs, routing, load balancing) and security principles, including IAM, encryption standards, firewall rules, and robust security monitoring implementation.
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Strong working knowledge of container technologies (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes) is highly desirable, especially in a microservices context.
  • Monitoring and Observability: Experience setting up and utilizing comprehensive monitoring and logging systems (e.g., Sumologic, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog) to establish and enforce SLOs.
  • Scripting/Programming: Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell) for automation and system management tasks.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Relevant professional cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, GCP Professional Cloud Architect) highly preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive experience in cloud engineering, SRE, or DevOps roles, with a significant tenure in a senior capacity.
  • Strong Analytical and Cost Management Skills: Demonstrated ability to analyze cloud consumption patterns, implement tagging strategies, and drive significant cost optimization initiatives.
  • Operational Leadership: Experience as an Incident Commander or in leading the response, resolution, and root cause analysis (RCA) process for major platform outages.
  • Excellent Communication and Collaboration: Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and to provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members.
  • System Design: Proven track record in designing high-availability, fault-tolerant, and disaster recovery architectures for mission-critical SaaS applications.
