DevOps Engineer L2

Overview

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

In your first 6 to 12 months, you will:

• Own reliability and operability of 1 to 2 production services, including services on the money path.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable frequent, safe deployments.
• Define and improve observability across metrics, logs, and alerts.
• Participate in on-call rotations and lead incident response when needed.
• Identify and reduce operational risk by improving resilience and failure handling.
• Automate repetitive operational workflows such as deployments, rollbacks, and recovery steps.
• Partner with Backend, Security, and Infra teams to translate system requirements into infrastructure solutions.
• Improve reliability metrics such as availability, MTTR, alert quality, and incident frequency.

You will be measured on:

• System reliability: Services meet defined SLOs for availability and latency.
• Operational clarity: Issues are detected via monitoring rather than customer reports.
• Incident handling: Incidents are mitigated quickly with a limited blast radius.
• Automation: Manual operational work decreases over time.
• Judgment: Infrastructure tradeoffs are deliberate and defensible.
• Trust: Engineering teams rely on the platforms you operate.

Requirements:

• 3 to 7 years of experience operating production systems.
• Strong fundamentals in Linux, networking, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience running containerized workloads in production.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience designing, monitoring, and alerting systems.
• Proven experience handling production incidents.
• Ability to clearly explain operational decisions.

Preferred (accelerates ramp, not required):

• Experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms.
• Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform or equivalent).
• Operational experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, or similar systems.
• Experience in fintech or high transaction volume systems.
• Security and compliance exposure.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers.
