Principal DevOps Lead - CI/CD Pipeline (10-15 yrs)

You'll own the systems that power Locus from infrastructure and automation to CI/CD and reliability engineering. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can see the big picture, drive architectural decisions, and enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter. You won't just maintain systems, you'll build leverage across teams by leading with a platform mindset and creating scalable, self-serve infrastructure.

Responsibilities :

- Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.

- Build internal tools and platforms that help engineers deploy, monitor, and scale their services independently with minimal friction and maximum confidence.

- Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

- Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices.

- Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.

- Integrate DevSecOps practices from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.

- Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.

Requirements :

- 10+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infrastructure roles, ideally in SaaS, product-led, or scale-up environments.

- Deep knowledge of AWS services, Kubernetes (EKS), VPC networking, container orchestration, and

autoscaling patterns.

- Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and scripting (Python/Go/Bash).

- You automate first, troubleshoot second.

- Experience of running fast, secure, zero-downtime deployments at scale and improving release velocity without trading off stability.

- Understanding of SRE principles, SLOs, failure domains, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

- Strong cross-functional communication.

- You're as comfortable in architecture reviews as in incident retrospectives.

- Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), internal platform engineering, or multi-tenant architectures.
