About Aivar Innovations
Aivar is an AI-first technology partner where cutting-edge technology meets industry expertise to supercharge your projects. Our AI-augmented teams accelerate development, reduce time-to-market, and deliver exceptional code quality. We bring together the best minds in tech to craft scalable, repeatable solutions that drive real momentum for your business.
Role Overview
Aivar Innovations is looking for a skilled DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform Engineering team. In this role you will own the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of our cloud-native infrastructure. You will partner closely with product engineering teams to design and operate CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-based workloads on AWS, and observability stacks — ensuring that Aivar's accelerator platforms run with the highest possible uptime and performance.
This is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You will be expected to drive automation-first thinking, reduce toil, and champion SRE principles across the organisation.
Requirements
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Infrastructure & Platform Operations
- Design, provision, and maintain production-grade AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform / CloudFormation).
- Manage and optimise multi-cluster Kubernetes environments (EKS) — including cluster upgrades, node scaling, network policies, and security hardening.
- Administer and tune AWS-managed services: RDS, ElastiCache, MSK (Kafka), S3, CloudFront, Route 53, and VPC networking.
- Implement and own cost-optimisation strategies — right-sizing, spot usage, savings plans, and tagging governance.
CI/CD & Automation
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent tooling.
- Drive automation of operational tasks — provisioning, patching, scaling events, and incident runbooks — to minimise manual intervention.
- Champion GitOps workflows using ArgoCD or Flux for Kubernetes application delivery.
- Develop and maintain Helm charts and Kustomize overlays for consistent, repeatable deployments across environments.
Site Reliability & Observability
- Define and track SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for production services.
- Build and operate observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or equivalent tooling.
- Lead incident response efforts — on-call participation, post-incident reviews, and long-term remediation tracking.
- Perform chaos engineering experiments and game days to proactively surface reliability risks.
Security & Compliance
- Enforce security best practices across the platform — IAM least-privilege, secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager / Vault), container image scanning.
- Collaborate with the security team on vulnerability management and patching cadence.
Preferred Technical Qualifications
- 3 – 5 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering role.
- Proven track record managing production Kubernetes clusters at scale — EKS strongly preferred.
- Deep working knowledge of AWS services, including compute (EC2, ECS, Lambda), networking (VPC, ALB, NLB, Transit Gateway), storage, and managed databases.
- Strong proficiency in at least one IaC tool: Terraform (preferred), AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
- Solid scripting ability in Python, Bash, or Go for automation and tooling development.
Preferred Qualifications
- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or AWS Certified Solutions Architect certification.
- Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
- Experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd.
- Prior experience operating AI/ML or data-intensive workloads on Kubernetes (GPU node pools, Karpenter, etc.).
- Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments.
