You will work closely with experienced engineers, gaining exposure to a wide range of tools and practices used in real-world production environments — from orchestration platforms and CI/CD pipelines to observability and monitoring systems.

 

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the automation of deployment pipelines and infrastructure setup using DevOps best practices.
• Support orchestration processes and tools (e.g., Kubernetes, Jenkins, Ansible) to improve reliability and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate on troubleshooting issues in our staging and production environments.
• Participate in maintaining the health of monitoring systems such as Prometheus, ELK, ClickHouse, and OpenTelemetry (OTel).
• Document processes, configurations, and troubleshooting steps to support team knowledge sharing.
• Continuously learn and stay updated with new technologies and industry trends related to DevOps and site reliability.

• Orchestration Fundamentals: Understanding of how orchestration tools work and are used to manage infrastructure and deployments.
• DevOps Tools: Familiarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), version control systems (e.g., Git), and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker).
• Monitoring Concepts: Basic understanding of how monitoring systems track and visualize system health, performance, and reliability.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Hands-on experience with Linux or Unix-based systems.
• Basic knowledge of observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, or OpenTelemetry).
• Interest in learning about Kubernetes and large-scale production environments.
