This role requires a hands-on technical leader who can define cloud and DevOps standards, drive automation, improve platform reliability, strengthen security, and mentor engineering teams while remaining deeply involved in architecture and implementation.

Key Responsibilities :

AWS Cloud &

- Architecture :
- Lead the design, implementation, and optimization of secure, scalable, highly available AWS infrastructure for enterprise and FinTech workloads.
- Define cloud architecture standards covering compute, networking, identity, security, storage, observability, and disaster recovery.
- Design and manage AWS environments using services including EC2, EKS, ECS, ECR, VPC, IAM, ALB, Route 53, CloudFront, S3, EBS, Lambda, Auto Scaling, SQS, SNS, and CloudWatch.
- Establish and maintain AWS multi-account architectures using AWS Organizations, Control Tower, and Landing Zone principles.
- Drive cloud platform standardization, automation, scalability, resilience, and operational excellence.
- Evaluate existing infrastructure and identify opportunities for modernization, performance improvement, and cost optimization.

Infrastructure as Code &

- Automation :
- Lead the adoption and implementation of Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code across cloud environments.
- Develop reusable Terraform modules and standardized infrastructure patterns to improve consistency and eliminate configuration drift.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, deployment, operational tasks, and setting management.
- Promote automation-first engineering practices across the DevOps organization.

Kubernetes &

- Container Platforms :
- Lead the design,



implementation, and operational management of Amazon EKS and Kubernetes platforms.
- Establish Kubernetes standards for deployments, services, ingress, RBAC, namespaces, secrets, ConfigMaps, persistent storage, health probes, autoscaling, and high availability.
- Manage containerized workloads using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Amazon ECR, EKS, and ECS.
- Implement scalable deployment strategies including rolling deployments, rolling rollbacks, self-healing, horizontal pod autoscaling, and cluster autoscaling.
- Troubleshoot complex Kubernetes, networking, application, and infrastructure issues in production environments.
- Establish best practices for Kubernetes security, reliability, observability, and platform lifecycle management.

CI/CD :

- Design, implement, and continuously improve enterprise CI/CD platforms using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Git, Maven, and SonarQube.
- Develop standardized pipelines supporting automated build, code quality, security validation, deployment, rollback, and release processes.
- Modernize legacy CI/CD pipelines and reduce manual deployment activities through automation.
- Lead source-control and CI/CD platform migrations, including repository migration, integrations, credentials, webhooks, and pipeline modernization.
- Implement deployment strategies that support controlled, repeatable, and low-risk production releases.
- Partner with development teams to embed DevOps practices throughout the software development lifecycle.

Security, Governance &

- DevSecOps :
- Build security into cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, containers, and operational processes.
- Implement AWS IAM, RBAC, network security, least-privilege access, security groups, and policy-based controls.
- Support secure AWS multi-account governance.
- Promote secure infrastructure and deployment practices across engineering teams.




- Integrate automated code quality and security controls into CI/CD workflows.
- Ensure infrastructure and deployment processes support auditability, traceability, controlled change, and operational risk reduction.

Monitoring, Reliability &

- Production Operations :
- Establish comprehensive monitoring, logging, alerting, and observability using Amazon CloudWatch, Splunk, and Grafana.
- Design dashboards and operational metrics for infrastructure, applications, Kubernetes platforms, and CI/CD environments.
- Lead production incident investigation, root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and remediation.
- Improve platform availability, reliability, scalability, and recovery capabilities.
- Support incident, problem, change, and release management processes.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce operational risk, deployment failures, and mean time to recovery.

Technical Leadership :

- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to DevOps, Cloud, and Platform Engineering teams.
- Define engineering standards, reusable patterns, reference architectures, and DevOps best practices.
- Conduct architecture and technical design reviews.
- Collaborate with Software Engineering, QA, Security, and Release Management teams.
- Lead complex technical initiatives from architecture and planning through implementation and production adoption.
- Champion a culture of automation, ownership, reliability, security, and continuous improvement.

Preferred Experience :

- 8 years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or Platform Engineering.
- Strong hands-on AWS experience in enterprise environments.
- Experience leading cloud migration and modernization programs.
- Experience designing and operating production Kubernetes/EKS platforms.
- Strong Infrastructure as Code experience with Terraform.
- Experience building enterprise CI/CD frameworks and deployment automation.
- Experience with highly available and business-critical applications.
- Experience working in regulated or security-sensitive environments such as FinTech, Banking, Payments, Insurance, or Financial Services is highly desirable.
- Strong understanding of cloud security, networking, scalability, resilience, and disaster recovery.
- Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical leadership.
