Site Reliability Engineer

SALT is looking to hire a SRE Devops Engineer for a yearly renewable contract in Singapore for a global technology client. The ideal candidate will be proficient in managing highly available infrastructure using SaaS application development and operations, skilled with AWS cloud architecture, and experienced in embedding security into DevOps automation tools (Shift-Left).

What you’ll do:

• Engage in operational and security incident resolution, build mitigation plans, and leverage AI-driven automation to reduce toil and improve Mean Time to Detect/Resolve (MTTD/MTTR).
• Design, implement, and manage secure Kubernetes clusters on platforms like AWS and Rancher, enforcing zero-trust architectures and strict RBAC.
• Provision, configure, and harden AWS infrastructure resources (VPCs, subnets, security groups, IAM roles) utilizing principle-of-least-privilege.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform/Terragrunt, embedding Policy-as-Code and security checks directly into the provisioning lifecycle.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications, ensuring secure container lifecycles, image signing, and runtime threat defense.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, integrating continuous security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA) and open-source licensing compliance checks.
• Implement and maintain modern, open-standards observability platforms (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Grafana) to provide deep visibility into both operational performance and security events.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong understanding of Kubernetes concepts (pods, services, deployments) and Kubernetes security best practices (Network Policies, Pod Security Admissions, OPA/Gatekeeper).
• Hands-on experience with Rancher and AWS EKS, including secure cluster creation, configuration, and lifecycle management.
• Proficiency in scripting languages like Python or Bash for operational and security automation.
• Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and applying secure coding practices to infrastructure deployment.
• Extensive knowledge of containerization technologies, secure base images, and vulnerability scanning in container registries.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD) and integrating automated security testing into the build process
• Atleast 5 to 8 years of relevant working experience
