• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines that empower developers to ship code multiple times a day with high confidence and reliability
• Implement and enhance monitoring, alerting, and observability solutions to improve system visibility and proactively reduce Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement through blameless postmortems and root cause analysis, collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement preventative measures
• Automate repetitive operational tasks using scripting and configuration management tools to improve efficiency and reduce manual error
• Ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of cloud-based security services processing trillions of events daily

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering with a Bachelor's degree
• Strong proficiency in Linux/Unix systems administration, internals, networking, and troubleshooting
• Expertise in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, Go, Bash)
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure) and its core services
• Proven experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Demonstrable experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab Actions, Jenkins)
• Strong hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex distributed systems

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• A proven ability to dissect and debug complex distributed systems handling high-volume, mission-critical transactions
• Experience with high-throughput environments and large-scale data processing systems
• Advanced knowledge of networking concepts and security best practices
• Understanding of SLO/SLI frameworks and error budget policies
