Requirements:

  • 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering.
  • Hands-on experience deploying and leading HashiCorp Vault at scale.
  • Deep knowledge of AWS (EKS, IAM, KMS, VPC) and Kubernetes orchestration.
  • Experience building modular, reusable Terraform/Terragrunt environments and robust CI/CD pipelines.
  • Proficiency in Go, Python, or Bash for operational tooling and API-driven automation.
  • Experience supporting 24x7 production environments and leading incident responses.

Nice to Have:

  • Compliance expertise in regulated environments like FedRAMP, SOC 2, or ISO 27001.
