Job Summary:
We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to help scale and operate the infrastructure behind BookedBy’s platform. You will design, implement, and maintain AWS cloud environments, manage Kubernetes-based services, and build automation frameworks to ensure our systems are highly available, secure, and performant. You will collaborate closely with software engineers to improve developer productivity, streamline CI/CD with GitLab and ArgoCD, and bring operational excellence to production systems. You’ll also leverage AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, accelerate incident response, and continuously optimize system performance. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure supporting BookedBy’s applications. 
• Manage and improve Kubernetes clusters (updates, scaling, monitoring, lifecycle management). 
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines with GitLab and ArgoCD, supporting versioning, rollbacks, and progressive delivery (canary, blue/green). 
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform for infrastructure, Helm for Kubernetes applications, ArgoCD for GitOps-driven deployments). 
• Enhance observability with metrics, logs, and tracing (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK). 
• Implement and maintain security best practices, including continuous audits and compliance readiness (e.g., SOC2). 
• Support application migration to Kubernetes and modernization efforts by deprecating legacy deployment tooling. 
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure and deployment issues in production. 
• Write and maintain runbooks and operational documentation to improve reliability and response. 
• Use AI-driven monitoring, anomaly detection, and automation to improve reliability and efficiency. 
• Participate in an on-call rotation, ensuring fast, effective incident response. 

Qualifications & Skills:

• 5+ years of DevOps / SRE / Platform Engineering experience. 
• Strong expertise with AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, Route53, ELB/ALB, IAM, networking). 
• Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters. 
• Proficiency with containers (Docker) and orchestration patterns. 
• Strong knowledge of Terraform (infrastructure), Helm (Kubernetes packaging), and ArgoCD (GitOps deployments). 
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred, but familiarity with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Bamboo is welcome). 
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK). 
• Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash, Ruby). 
• Proficiency with Linux and command-line troubleshooting. 
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, scaling, and cloud security practices. 
• Strong collaboration and communication skills. 
• Excitement about applying AI to automate workflows, predict incidents, and enhance operational efficiency.
