This role goes beyond execution requiring you to drive DevOps best practices, establish SRE capabilities, and ensure end-to-end stability of customer journeys (order, provisioning, billing). You will act as a technical leader, guiding engineers and working across teams to enable faster, safer, and more reliable platform delivery.
Responsibilities:
- Drive DevOps strategy and operating model for CRM/OM platforms, acting as the technical escalation point for complex production issues.
- Architect and govern end ‑ to ‑ end CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins (Pipeline ‑ as ‑ Code) and GitOps (Argo CD / Flux), enabling safe, repeatable releases.
- Lead trunk ‑ based development adoption, automated testing, quality gates, and release safety mechanisms across microservices.
- Design and operate multi ‑ cluster Kubernetes platforms (EKS/OCP), including networking, RBAC, scaling, and resilience.
- Govern AWS cloud infrastructure and Infrastructure ‑ as ‑ Code using Terraform and/or CloudFormation, ensuring security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
- Apply SRE practices by defining SLOs/SLIs, improving reliability and performance, and leading incident management and RCA.
- Ensure end ‑ to ‑ end reliability of CRM and API integrations across systems.
- Establish observability and operational excellence using Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and on ‑ call tooling.
- Contribute to automation and code improvements, participate in architecture reviews, mentor engineers, and drive documentation and knowledge sharing.
