About SmartDocs
SmartDocs is an AI-powered Source-to-Pay platform helping enterprises digitize and automate their procurement and finance operations. As we scale our platform, we're building a strong DevOps function to keep our infrastructure fast, secure, and reliable.
The Role (Why We're Writing This)
Let's be honest. You've read a 100's of JDs that say "fast-paced environment" and "wear many hats." This is not that JD. Well, it is - but at least we're upfront about it.
We're looking for a DevOps Manager who has actually been woken up at 1 AM by a pager and lived to tell the tale. Someone who has opinions about IaC tooling and can defend them in a meeting. Someone who reads "own the Azure environment end to end" and thinks finally, nobody else touching my networking instead of run.

What You'll Actually Be Doing
Lead a 4-6 person DevOps/SRE team including the on-call program. Yes, you'll design the rotation. Yes,

Own uptime and SLAs for production client environments. Enterprise clients notice downtime with impressive speed. You'll run incident response and write postmortems that are actually honest, not the "human error" cop-out kind.
Build CI/CD pipelines for trunk-based development across U.S. and India teams. 2 time zones, 1 main branch, 0 patience for broken builds. You know exactly what that means.
Operate and tune MongoDB at production scale - including backup and restore testing. Because a backup you've never restored is just a very expensive file.
Own infrastructure security - pat
