Devops Architect

Chennai Permanent View Job Description
As a Devops Architect in Chennai, you will shape and improve technology delivery for a Financial Services business. You will build practical DevOps approaches that help teams release and run systems smoothly.
  • High-growth product/startup offering rapid growth & career advancement.
  • Competitive compensation and exposure to cutting-edge cloud technologies.

About Our Client

Our client is an innovative product company leveraging cutting-edge cloud technologies to build scalable and reliable platforms. They provide an environment where engineers can influence architecture decisions, drive automation, and contribute directly to business growth.

Job Description

  • 10+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE roles with a sustained Kubernetes focus. Consuming a managed cluster someone else operates will not meet the bar - this role requires ownership of the platform itself.
  • Expert-level production Kubernetes experience, on EKS or upstream Kubernetes, including upgrades, backup and restore, and rolling deployments across environments.
  • Deep internals knowledge: etcd, control plane, scheduler, admission controllers, and the API server - enough to debug behaviour, not only configure it.
  • Security primitives in practice: RBAC, Network Policies, CRDs, and Pod Security Admission standards.
  • HashiCorp Vault integration using the Kubernetes auth method and secrets injection, in a production environment.
  • Service mesh in production: hands-on Istio and/or Linkerd deployment and operation.
  • AWS infrastructure depth: IAM, VPC, EC2, ALB/NLB, and CloudWatch.
  • Automation toolchain: Terraform, Helm, and scripting in Bash, Python, or Go, with working GitOps and CI/CD practice.

The Successful Applicant

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform.
  • Expertise in CI/CD, automation, infrastructure provisioning, and cloud-native technologies.
  • Strong understanding of Linux, networking, security, and platform reliability.
  • Experience working in product-based organizations or high-growth startup environments.

What's on Offer

  • Opportunity to architect and scale cloud-native platforms.
  • High ownership in a product-focused engineering environment.
  • Exposure to modern cloud, automation, and DevOps technologies.
  • Competitive compensation package with strong growth potential.
