- CI/CD & Deployment: Build, maintain, and enhance automated CI/CD pipelines for faster, highly reliable software delivery while embedding testing and security checks into the pipeline (shift-left approach).
- Monitoring & Performance: Monitor system health using APM tools (Prometheus, Grafana, AppDynamics, New Relic) and integrate AI-driven observability tools for anomaly detection and automated incident resolution.
- Collaboration & Best Practices: Partner with development and QA teams to execute smooth deployments, document operational workflows, and champion DevOps and site-reliability best practices across the organization.
- Kubernetes: Strong knowledge of Kubernetes

## Minimum Qualifications

- Core Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in Infrastructure, Systems Administration, and DevOps engineering.

- CI/CD Pipelines: Experience building and supporting automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or similar platforms.
- Observability: Hands-on experience configuring APM and monitoring platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent solutions.

## Preferred Qualifications

- AI in DevOps: Hands-on exposure to leveraging AI/ML tools for predictive scaling, intelligent alerting, anomaly detection, or log analysis.
- DevSecOps & Shift-Left: Practical experience integrating vulnerability scanning and automated security gates into active deployment pipelines.
- Agile Collaboration: Track record of collaborating effectively within Agile teams to consistently ship infrastructure improvements every sprint.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Exceptional debugging, root-cause analysis, and troubleshooting capabilities for complex, distributed cloud environments.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate across cross-functional engineering teams.

- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Flexible working policies; office presence in East Hyderabad (NSIC Business Park) with a short commute focus.
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: Engineers get “complete AI transformation” exposure — they don’t just use AI tools but rebuild the entire business around AI. Direct mentorship from international founders with proven scale-up experience. Engineers build the systems others will copy in 3-5 years. No special “AI team” — everyone does AI.
- **Engineering focus**: Full-stack engineers, DevOps/platform engineers, and senior engineers/tech leads are the primary hiring targets. The work involves designing agent networks, building human-AI interfaces, and pioneering AI-first development methodologies.
