Draft and implement disaster recovery plans for core infrastructure components. Partner with Payments, Onboarding and Billing teams to build resilience and recovery into their applications. Drive cost optimization and performance tuning across GCP services. Document infrastructure, operational procedures and architectural decisions. Act as the internal reference for DevOps practices and mentor the wider tech team. Keep the platform aligned with regulatory and security compliance requirements, including external audit readiness. 4+ years in DevOps, SRE or Software Engineering roles with strong operational exposure. Terraform at production scale. Docker and Kubernetes. CI/CD design and implementation, ideally with GitHub Actions. Monitoring and logging with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Experience with distributed systems. Strong troubleshooting across application, network (TCP/IP) and system layers.
