  • Drive platform resilience by improving monitoring, logging, and observability using tools like Splunk.
  • Champion DevSecOps by embedding security and compliance controls directly into pipelines and infrastructure.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to troubleshoot and resolve complex platform and application issues.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, and security teams to improve system reliability.


Qualifications:
  • 6+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering plus a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field. A combination of education and experience may meet qualifications.

  • Hands-on experience building microservices and RESTful APIs (Python, Java, or similar).
  • Proficient scripting skills (Bash, PowerShell) for automation and operational tasks.
  • Experience in setting up and managing monitoring and logging platforms like Splunk.
  • Experience working in Financial Services, HealthTech, or other highly regulated industries requiring stringent compliance, security, and data privacy.
  • Familiarity with tools like Azure DevOps, Jira, and ServiceNow.
