Maintenance: Define and maintain backup/restore processes and routine maintenance windows with minimal downtime.

SRE & Automation

Eliminate Toil: Apply SRE principles to automate repetitive operational tasks, reducing manual intervention.

IaC & Tooling: Develop automation tools and manage infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation , along with scripting in Python , Go , or Bash .

Self-Healing Systems: Implement auto-remediation workflows where systems can detect and resolve common issues (e.g., restarting failed services, rotating bad nodes) without human intervention.

Performance Tuning: optimize application runtime parameters, database queries, and system kernel settings for maximum throughput.

Cloud & Cost Optimization (FinOps)

AWS Management: Architect and manage extensive AWS services—EC2, EKS/ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, and Route53.

Cost Efficiency: Actively monitor cloud spend and drive Cost Optimization initiatives. This includes rightsizing instances, managing Reserved/Spot instances, and identifying idle resources to reduce waste.

Capacity Planning: Collaborate with engineering teams to forecast infrastructure needs, ensuring we scale to meet demand without over-provisioning.

Work Environment & Soft Skills

Global Flexibility: We work with clients across IST, GMT, and EST time zones. You must be flexible with your working hours to accommodate project-specific deployments, overlapping meetings, or on-call rotations.

Team Player: Willingness to help out with other cloud-related workloads (even outside your primary AWS focus) when the team is under pressure.

Detective Mindset: You are relentless when debugging and won't stop until you find the root cause.

Financial Awareness: You treat cloud resources as real money and take pride in running a lean, efficient infrastructure.
