Role Overview:

DevOps Engineer

This is a hands-on, hybrid role requiring deep expertise in application development, cloud operations, and diagnostic tooling. You'll work across production environments to maintain business continuity, support rapid issue resolution, and empower teams working under data access and sovereignty constraints.

Key Responsibilities:

Cross-Border Development Support

• Investigate complex, high-priority production issues inaccessible to China-based developers.
• Build sanitized diagnostic packages and test environments to enable effective offshore debugging.
• Lead root cause analysis for customer-impacting issues across our Java and PHP-based application stack.
• Document recurring patterns and technical solutions to improve incident response efficiency.
• Partner closely with China-based developers to maintain architectural alignment and system understanding.

Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps

• Manage containerized workloads (Docker/Kubernetes) in AWS and Azure; optimize performance and cost.
• Support deployment strategies (blue-green, canary, rolling) and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (multi-cloud), with CloudFormation or ARM Templates as a plus.
• Support observability through tools like New Relic, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and log aggregation systems.
• Automate environment provisioning, monitoring, and diagnostics using Python, Bash, and PowerShell.

Collaboration & Communication

• Translate production symptoms into actionable debugging tasks for teams without access to global environments.
• Work closely with database, QA, and SRE teams to resolve infrastructure or architectural issues.
• Ensure alignment with global data compliance policies (SOC2, NSD-104, GDPR) when sharing data across borders.
• Communicate technical issues and resolutions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications:

Technical Skills:

• Languages:

  Advanced in Java and PHP (Spring Boot, YII); familiarity with JavaScript a plus.

• Architecture:

  Experience designing and optimizing backend microservices and APIs.

• Cloud Platforms:

  Hands-on with AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS) and Azure (VMs, Functions, SQL DB).

• Containerization:

  Docker & Kubernetes (EKS/AKS); Helm experience a plus.

• IaC & Automation:

  Proficient in Terraform; scripting with Python/Bash.

• DevOps:

  Familiar with modern CI/CD pipelines; automated testing (Cypress, Playwright).

• Databases & Messaging:

  MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ.

Professional Experiences Required:

• Minimum 6+ years of full-stack or backend development experience in high-concurrency systems.
• Strong understanding of system design, with hands on building and maintaining cloud infrastructure using AWS and/or Azure and global software deployment practices.
• Experience designing and deploying microservices architectures using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/AKS).
• Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, with scripting in Python/Bash for automation.
• Experience working with databases (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) in high-concurrency environments.
• Experience working in global, distributed engineering teams with data privacy or access restrictions.

Preferred to have:

• Exposure to

  compliance frameworks

  (SOC 2, GDPR, NSD-104, ISO 27001, HIPAA).
• Familiarity with cloud networking, CDN configuration, and cost optimization strategies.
• Tools experience with Postman, REST Assured, or security testing frameworks.
