You’ll work as part of a operational support team focused on scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure services—owning features from design to production. The ideal candidate is a strong Python developer, comfortable with Java and Go, who can also author Concord workflows, write Ansible playbooks, and manage code with Git following best practices.

• DevOps & Reliability: Build pipelines, observability (metrics, logs, tracing), alerts, dashboards, and SLOs; contribute to incident response and postmortems.

• Database Ownership: Design schemas, write migration scripts, optimize queries, and manage operations (backup/restore, replication, failover) for relational and/or NoSQL systems.

• Virtualisation Management : Managing and maintaining virtualization infrastructure, including virtualization management using Nutanix and VMware platforms. Responsibilities include monitoring, automating, troubleshooting, and supporting virtual environments to ensure optimal performance and availability. Additionally, the role requires providing occasional on-call support as part of a Follow-the-Sun (SUN) support model, ensuring continuous operational assistance across global teams.

• Security & Compliance: Embed security by design—secrets management, least privilege, image hardening, SBOM, vulnerability scanning, and policy-as-code.

• Documentation & Enablement: Produce clear architecture docs, runbooks, and user guides; mentor peers and enable consumers of your services.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with other platform teams, SRE, security, and product teams to deliver outcomes aligned to reliability, cost, and performance goals.
