Role Overview

As the Lead DevOps Engineer, you will be the primary architect and strategist for our cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and reliability frameworks. You will lead the transition toward a "Security-by-Design" culture, driving the technical roadmap for DevSecOps and Observability. This role is a blend of hands-on engineering, architectural leadership, and mentorship, ensuring our platforms are scalable, secure, and resilient.

DevSecOps:

• Integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning).
• Automate vulnerability scanning for code, containers, and cloud resources.
• Manage secrets and identity access using tools like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.
• Collaborate with developers for secure coding practices and threat modeling.

Observability:

• Design and implement monitoring and alerting systems for applications and infrastructure.
• Deploy and manage APM tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics).
• Configure logging and tracing solutions (ELK/EFK stack, OpenTelemetry).
• Set up dashboards and alerts for performance, availability, and security metrics.
• Optimize observability for microservices and Kubernetes environments.
