4. Monitoring & Operati

ons:Develop and maintain visibility, metrics, monitoring, alerting, and tracing systems to ensure high availability and operational efficiency of our SaaS service across a multi-cloud environm

ent.Implement cutting-edge observability solutions (EFK/ELK stack, Prometheus, Kafka) for no-touch/low-touch operations.

5. Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Cloud Strategy:

Drive the architecture and implementation of multi-cloud disaster recovery (DR) frameworks for both multi-tenant and single-tenant SaaS offerings. Create SDLC frameworks that allow for seamless deployment across multiple clouds without requiring redundant testing. Develop an app modernization framework to migrate applications from legacy infrastructure to modern Kubernetes-based platforms.

5. Security & Compliance:

Ensure computing, networking, storage, and security best practices are followed while building a highly available, secure, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure. Integrate DevSecOps practices into the infrastructure development lifecycle, ensuring security and compliance from the groundup.

6. Innovative Tooling & Customer Portals:

Build customer-facing operations portals for multi-cloud visibility and management, incorporating AI agents and analytics for enhanced health monitoring, quality of service (QoS), and operational insights. Develop frameworks for cloud infrastructure financial operations (FinOps), enabling operational efficiency and cost management via code.

7. Access Management & Scalability:

Lead the development of self-service infrastructure tooling for application teams, enabling rapid provisioning and scaling of infrastructure across clouds.

What You Bring (Skills & Experience):

• Deep Experience in Cloud-Native Technologies:Extensive experience with cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker) in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Expertise in building and operating large-scale infrastructure in public cloud environments (AWS, GCP,Azure).
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Expert in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation), with hands-on experience in automating infrastructure across multiple clouds.
• DevSecOps & Automation:Familiarity with cloud-native DevSecOps practices and tools, integrating security and automation across the SDLC.Strong automation skills using CI/CD pipelines in a multi-cloud environment.
