Senior DevOps Engineer

What is the role?

As a Senior DevOps / SRE Engineer at 8byte, you will own and drive the architecture, security, scalability, and reliability of infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows across our cloud-native platform on AWS. You will work closely with engineering leadership and product teams to build resilient, highly available, and secure systems that power our enterprise AI products for BFSI clients across India and the GCC. Your work will directly impact the performance, stability, and security posture of mission-critical systems in regulated environments.

This is a high-ownership role for a seasoned DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure professional who takes pride in clean infrastructure-as-code, zero-downtime CI/CD deployments, and systems that run smoothly without alert fatigue. You will be expected to make independent architectural decisions, mentor junior engineers, lead proactive platform improvements, and set the technical bar for reliability, scalability, and Cloud Security best practices.

Responsibilities In this role, you will:

-
CI/CD Leadership: Design, build, and optimize enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, ensuring fast, automated, and zero-downtime delivery across all environments—integrating security scanning, policy enforcement, and rollback capabilities.

-
Kubernetes & Container Orchestration: Own the production deployment, scaling, and operational management of containerised microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, including cluster upgrades, service mesh integration (e.g., Istio/Linkerd), and autoscaling strategies.

-
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Architect, provision, and evolve multi-cloud and AWS-centric infrastructure using Terraform, enforcing consistency, repeatability, and strict Cloud Security and compliance standards across environments.

-
Observability & SRE: Drive the company-wide monitoring and observability strategy using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog, setting up meaningful SLO/SLA tracking, alerting, and incident response workflows aligned with SRE principles.

-
Root Cause & Reliability Engineering: Lead root cause analysis (RCA) and post-mortems for complex infrastructure issues, systematically eliminating repeat incidents and operational toil—core to practice.
