Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer

Role: Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer

Industry Type: Space Technology

Location: Bangalore / Ahmedabad

Employment Type: Full-time

Role Overview

As a Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer, you will lead the development of cloud-agnostic backend and infrastructure systems that are portable across multiple environments (AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise). You will design resilient deployment pipelines, optimize compute and storage resources, ensure secure multi-tenant SaaS practices, and implement observability for our mission-critical satellite intelligence platform. This role demands deep DevOps expertise, a strong systems mindset, and the ability to build for portability and resilience.

Key Responsibilities
• Infrastructure Ownership & Cost Optimization
• Architect a cloud-agnostic infrastructure using open-source, platform-independent tools.
• Implement autoscaling, load balancing, and spot/preemptible compute optimization across cloud and on-premise setups.
• Containerize services for consistent deployments across providers and environments.
• Security & Deployment Policies
• Implement secure networking, RBAC, and identity controls abstracted from cloud providers.
• Define and enforce platform-agnostic rollout/rollback strategies for high-availability deployments.
• Ensure compliance with SaaS security standards across all cloud platforms.
• Observability & Monitoring
• Set up unified observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) to monitor infrastructure health across multi-cloud setups.
• Define and track SLAs, SLOs, and real-time incident alerting.
• Build centralized logging and metrics pipelines that function across environments.
• Database & Data Management
• Manage cloud-agnostic data backends such as PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MongoDB, and object storage compatible with S3 APIs.
• Implement multi-region backups, replication, and disaster recovery plans.
• CI/CD & Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Build reusable, cloud-agnostic CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or ArgoCD.
• Use Terraform and Ansible to provision infrastructure on any cloud provider or bare-metal server.
• Package all workloads using Docker and deploy using Kubernetes (K8s) clusters across cloud/on-prem environments.

Required Skills & Experience
• Cloud & DevOps Expertise
• Proven experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem).
• Expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, and container orchestration best practices.
• Ability to abstract infrastructure away from vendor-specific tools.
• Security & Compliance
• Deep understanding of IAM, RBAC, VPNs, secrets management, and secure API design.
• Experience with security hardening, auditing, and policy enforcement in distributed environments.
• Monitoring & Observability
• Familiarity with cloud-neutral observability stacks like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and ELK.
• Ability to define actionable metrics, tracing, and SLOs/SLA dashboards.
• Database Management
• Operational experience with PostgreSQL/PostGIS, MongoDB, Redis, and S3-compatible storage.
• Competence in data migration, query optimization, and failover strategies.
• CI/CD & Automation
• Cloud-agnostic CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions, GitLab, or ArgoCD.
• Automated infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Packer, and Ansible across platforms.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with on-premise Kubernetes clusters (e.g., k3s, RKE2, OpenShift).
• Familiarity with cloud abstraction platforms
• Knowledge of event-driven or edge computing architectures.

Benefits
• This role is ideal for Backend/DevOps engineers passionate about building resilient, portable, and cloud-neutral systems that scale across multiple environments — from cloud hyperscalers to air-gapped, secure on-premise deployments.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers in the field
• Thriving Growth-Mindset Team
• Lots of Fun!
