Create automation for anomaly detection, self-healing systems, and recovery workflows to reduce toil and optimize cloud costs.
Develop and manage CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, SonarQube, Docker, and Nexus/Artifactory.
Implement DevSecOps best practices, including IAM roles, RBAC, SAST/DAST/SCA tooling, and vulnerability remediation.
Build observability solutions with monitoring, logging, and tracing tools like AWS CloudWatch, Splunk, SignalFX, Dynatrace, and OpenTelemetry.
Define and track reliability metrics including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, MTTR, and MTTD.
Architect and support microservices, serverless applications, and RESTful APIs with resilience patterns like Circuit Breaker, Retry, and Timeout.
Conduct chaos engineering experiments using AWS FIS, Chaos Toolkit, and perform resiliency testing via AWS Resilience Hub.
Manage and optimize various databases including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Oracle, and Redshift.
Support production systems including incident response, problem management, and runbook creation as part of on-call rotations.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed shift-left testing strategies (e.g., BDD, TDD, unit, regression).
Maintain architecture documentation, disaster recovery plans, and internal knowledge articles.
Requirements:
