• Provision, configure, and maintain cloud infrastructure on DigitalOcean (Droplets, Managed Databases, Spaces, Load Balancers, VPCs, and related services).

• Design and enforce security best practices across the stack: network segmentation, firewalls and security groups, SSH key and secrets management, least-privilege IAM, TLS/SSL certificates, and regul

ar patching.

• Stand up and maintain centralized logging pipelines so engineers can quickly trace issues across services (e.g., ELK/Elastic, Loki, or a managed logging stack).

• Build and tune monitoring and alerting for infrastructure and application health — uptime, resource utilization, latency, and error rates — with sensible, actionable alerts (e.g., Prometheus + Grafana, or equivalent).

• Configure and manage database replication and high availability (primary/replica setups, failover, backups, and restore testing) to protect data and minimize downtime.

• Automate provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code and scripting (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Bash).

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that let developers deploy reliably and roll back safely.

• Manage backups, disaster recovery procedures, and routine restore drills.

• Respond to incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and document runbooks to prevent recurrence.

• Continuously optimize for cost, performance, and reliability across the infrastructure footprint.

Required • 2+ years of experience in a DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure role.

• Hands-on experience operating production workloads on DigitalOcean (or a comparable cloud provider with willingness to work primarily in DigitalOcean).

• Strong grasp of infrastructure security: firewalls, VPCs, secrets management, certificate management, and hardening Linux servers.

• Experience setting up centralized logging and making logs useful for debugging.

• Experience building monitoring and alerting with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar.

• Practical knowledge of database replication, backups, and high-availability configurations (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar).

• Proficiency with Linux system administration.

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) and scripting (Bash, Python).

• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, load balancing). Nice to Ha

ve

• Experience with containerization (Docker).

• Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar).

• Experience with secrets management tools (Vault, Doppler, or cloud-native equivalents).

• Exposure to other cloud providers (AWS, GCP) for multi-cloud or migration scenarios.

• A track record of cost optimization on cloud infrastructure.
