• Manage and optimize Kubernetes environments (AKS), including lifecycle operations, upgrades, reliability, and performance tuning.
• Implement and promote GitOps practices with PR-driven workflows and a single source of truth for infrastructure and deployments.
• Strengthen platform security through secretless authentication, least-privilege access models, and Azure Key Vault integration.
• Drive observability and automation initiatives using monitoring and logging tools such as Datadog and LGTM stack.
• Contribute to engineering excellence through code reviews, mentoring, and sharing DevOps best practices across teams.

Requirements

• At least 2+ years of experience building and maintaining Terraform-based infrastructure using modular and scalable architectures.
• Strong expertise in Azure DevOps pipelines with YAML-first and reusable template approaches.
• Solid experience with Helm, GitOps workflows, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
• Experience in mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and sharing technical knowledge within teams.
• Proven experience in production on-call rotations and incident response management.
• Ability to thrive in low-process environments and establish structure and best practices from the ground up.
• Strong ownership mindset, proactive attitude, and high level of engineering maturity.
