Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Job Purpose

We are modernizing our Cloud Operations practice - moving away from manual, console-driven work toward a fully automated, infrastructure-as-code culture. This role is the catalyst for that transformation.

You will join a team based in Bangalore and serve as the technical anchor for our SRE/DevOps evolution. You are the kind of engineer who sees a manual process and immediately thinks about how to eliminate it. You are comfortable in both Windows and Linux environments, fluent in AWS, and passionate about treating infrastructure the same way developers treat application code - versioned, tested, and deployed via pipelines.

Job Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Infrastructure automation & IaC

  Lead the migration from ClickOps to fully automated, code-driven infrastructure provisioning using Terraform

  Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules for AWS resources (VPCs, EC2, EKS, RDS, Aurora, IAM, and more)

  Develop and manage Ansible playbooks for configuration management across Windows and Linux fleets

  Champion the principle that every infrastructure change flows through code and version control - no exceptions

• GitOps and CI/CD

  Design and implement GitOps workflows using GitHub actions and/or ArgoCD for infrastructure and application deployments

  Establish branch protection, code review gates, and automated validation pipelines for infrastructure PRs

  Define and enforce GitOps standards across the team, onboarding colleagues to the new way of working

• Cloud Operations & SRE

  Own reliability, availability and scalability of cloud infrastructure across AWS environments

  Define and track SLOs/SLIs; build alerting, dashboards and runbooks to support operational excellence

  Respond to and lead post-mortems on production incidents, drive systemic fixes to eliminate recurrence

  Implement cost optimization strategies and enforce tagging/governance policies

• Enablement and Knowledge Transfer

  Mentor Cloud Operations team members, building internal capacity in IaC and automation practices

  Document patterns, standards and architectural decisions; make knowledge accessible to the broader team

  Act as a force multiplier - your impact is measured not just by what you build, but by what the team is able to build after you

Skills & Experience

• Core Infrastructure

  Strong hands-on experience with both Linux (Amazon Linux, RHEL) and Windows Server administration

  Deep AWS proficiency: compute, networking, storage, security and managed services

  Experience managing hybrid or mixed OS environments at scale

• Automation and IaC

  Terraform: module development, state management, remote backends, workspace strategies

  Ansible: playbook authoring, roles, inventories, vault integration, Windows WinRM support, Amazon SSM

  Strong scripting skills in Bash and Powershell, Python is a strong plus.

• GitOps and Version Control

  GitHub: advanced branching, Actions workflows, protected branches, secrets management

  Practical experience implementing GitOps patterns (pull-based deployments, declarative configuration, drift detection)

  Familiarity with tools such as ArgoCD, Flux, or equivalent

• Reliability Engineering

  Experience defining SLOs, building dashboards and managing alerts (CloudWatch, Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics, or similar)
