• Developing tools and workflows to automate deployment, testing, monitoring, and recovery processes, reducing manual intervention and improving system performance.
• Building modules that integrate observability practices (metrics, logging, and tracing) into applications, enabling proactive monitoring and faster issue resolution.
• Imbedding AppOps principles into CI/CD workflows, ensuring reliability, performance, and operational readiness checks are automated.
• Collaborating with engineering, operations, and security teams to align on architecture, tooling, and delivery strategies for seamless integration of AppOps capabilities.
• Using developed tools and frameworks to enhance post-deployment operational efficiency, including proactive issue resolution and performance optimization.
• Fostering knowledge sharing by writing and contributing to documentation.

You bring:

• 3-5+ years of experience in AppOps, DevOps, or SRE roles, focusing on hands-on development and operational support.
• Experience working with AWS services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFormation, CloudWatch) to build and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure systems.
• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools with a focus on creating modular, reusable patterns.
• Advanced programming and scripting skills in Python, Go, or similar languages, with experience building automation frameworks and tools.
• Experience integrating CI/CD pipelines using tools.

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on eliminating manual processes and improving operational efficiency.
