Job Description
You’ll be part of a high-performing DevOps team responsible for evolving our cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability frameworks across environments. You’ll have the autonomy to design, build, and optimise our infrastructure systems while enabling developer productivity at scale.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for all HackerRank environments from development to production.
- Automate infrastructure using Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes (EKS), ensuring scalability and reproducibility.
- Lead and evangelise DevOps best practices across engineering teams, CI/CD hygiene, observability, and cost-efficient architectures.
- Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and incident response systems using tools like OpsGenie, New Relic, and ELK.
- Optimise the performance and utilisation of key systems such as Redis, RDS, Redshift, ElasticSearch, and Kafka.
- Partner with security and platform teams to ensure compliance, resilience, and threat protection across cloud environments.
- Contribute to cloud cost optimisation initiatives and infrastructure efficiency projects.
Who You Are
- Bring 3+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering roles.
- Deep expertise with AWS (and ideally some exposure to GCP), including EKS, EC2, S3, SQS, and IAM.
- Strong experience with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and Linux (Ubuntu)
- Hands-on scripting or coding skills in Python or Java.
- Solid grasp of monitoring, alerting, and performance tuning principles.
- Strong collaborator who can partner with developers, QA, and leadership teams to drive platform improvements.
Even better if you have
- Experience implementing ArgoCD, Jenkins, or other CI/CD orchestration tools.
- Background in security engineering, threat modelling, or penetration testing.
- Knowledge of observability frameworks and modern APM tools (New Relic, Prometheus, Grafana).
- Proven track record in cost optimisation and infrastructure scaling for high-traffic systems.
- Experience working with multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
You will thrive in this role if
- Bring a builder’s mindset to automate processes, simplify workflows, and empower others through effective tools.
- Being passionate about reliability, scalability, and developer experience.
- Enjoying owning systems end-to-end and solving production challenges hands-on.
- Balances technical depth with empathy, understanding that infrastructure is successful only when developers can move faster and safer.
- Take pride in creating calm out of complexity and designing systems that just work.
