Senior DevOps Engineer / Technical Lead (AWS & GCP)

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer / Technical Lead to own our cloud infrastructure long-term across AWS and GCP — production reliability, cloud operations, observability, security, FinOps, and infrastructure strategy.

Reporting to VP R&D.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, including Kubernetes-based platforms (EKS/GKE), networking, IAM, storage, and core infrastructure services.
• Lead infrastructure integration efforts during acquisitions, platform consolidations, and cloud migration projects.
• Design, deploy, and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform.
• Act as the primary escalation point for infrastructure and production issues.
• Lead incident response, post-mortems, and continuous operational improvements.
• Build and maintain observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and related tools, including monitoring standards, alerting strategies, SLOs, and SLAs.
• Support large-scale data pipelines, real-time event processing systems, and high-throughput production environments.
• Troubleshoot and optimize large-scale distributed systems, including capacity planning and performance tuning.
• Lead cloud cost optimization initiatives across AWS and GCP, including FinOps practices, resource governance, and cost visibility.
• Support SOC2, ISO27001, and infrastructure security initiatives, implementing operational controls and security best practices.
• Set technical standards and direction for infrastructure; mentor engineers through design and code review.

Requirements

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years operating large-scale, mission-critical production on AWS, plus architecture-level knowledge of GCP — GKE, VPC, IAM and resource hierarchy, and the managed-service equivalents you'd map to.
• Proven technical ownership of a large-scale infrastructure initiative — target architecture, execution, and delivery to production together with other engineers.
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), cloud networking, infrastructure security, and Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform.
• Strong experience operating highly available distributed systems, large-scale data pipelines, and real-time event processing environments, including at least two stateful services in production (Kafka, Redis, OpenSearch, ClickHouse, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with observability and production operations — monitoring, alerting, incident response, root cause analysis, and performance optimization under pressure — with deep experience in at least one modern stack (Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog, or similar).
• Experience with capacity planning, cloud cost optimization (FinOps), and infrastructure governance.

Bonus Points For

• Experience leading a large-scale cloud migration — cutover strategy, state migration, running dual-cloud during transition.
• Experience supporting SOC2, ISO27001, or similar security and compliance frameworks.
• Experience with AdTech, MarTech, Gaming, Analytics, or other high-scale data-driven platforms.
• Experience with ClickHouse, BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, or similar analytics platforms.
• Experience with VictoriaMetrics, Thanos, Cortex, ArgoCD, Flux, or other modern observability and GitOps tools.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling.
