DevOps Engineer I – Cloud

Why Astra? Astra is shaping the future of security - fast, intuitive, and deeply integrated. Our engineering culture values clarity, velocity, and human connection. We don’t just ship-we shape. As a DevOps Engineer I, you’ll help architect the systems that power our products and internal platforms, enabling scale without sacrificing reliability. What You’ll Do: You’ll be the backbone of our infrastructure evolution - designing, automating, and scaling systems that power Astra’s velocity. Expect to: - Build and maintain containerized environments using Docker, Kubernetes and hosted solutions - Architect cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS with a focus on scalability, security and performance - Automate provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Ansible - Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions for fast, safe deployments - Implement monitoring and logging frameworks with Prometheus, Cloud Logging and GCP Monitoring - Embed security and reliability into every layer - from IAM policies to deployment strategies. - Define deployment strategies across staging and production, including blue/green and rollback mechanisms. - Write clean, reusable scripts in Python and Bash to support automation and tooling. - Integrate service mesh technologies like Istio for traffic management and observability - Collaborate with product and engineering teams to align infrastructure with business goals - Document systems and processes clearly to support scale and cross-team understanding - Continuously improve reliability posture by identifying bottlenecks and driving incident response learnings. What You'll Bring We’re looking for curious minds who build with intent. You’ll thrive here if you: - Min 2-3 years hands-on experience with GCP and AWS in production environments - Strong understanding with compute, IAM, networking and integration services. - Have built and maintained container infrastructure using Docker and Kubernetes. - Can design container-based topologies that follow well-architected principles. - Have exposure to Service Mesh technologies like Istio. - Are fluent in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible. - Have built CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and understand pipelines as code. - Write automation scripts in Python and Bash with clarity and purpose. - Understand observability and security best practices in cloud-native environments (Prometheus, Cloud Logging, and GCP Monitoring). - Think in terms of reliability SLAs, not just uptime. - Communicate clearly and collaborate across functions with empathy and ownership. Bonus Points - Experience with incident response and postmortem culture. - Exposure to cost optimization in cloud environments. - Familiarity with GitOps workflows. - Contributions to open-source or internal tooling that improved team velocity. What Success Looks Like: - Our environments are reproducible, observable and secure. - Product teams ship faster with NO infra bottlenecks. - You proactively surface reliability risks and solve them before they escalate. - You mentor junior engineers and elevate the team’s DevOps maturity. What We Offer: - Be a part of a fast-growing company and work on hard problems that matter. - Flexible work hours and hybrid setup - A team that values ownership, clarity, and kindness - Holistic understanding of the SaaS and security industry. - Annual trips to beaches or mountains (last one was to Wayanad). - Health insurance & other benefits for you and your spouse (maternity benefits included). In a Nutshell: You’ll build and maintain the cloud systems, automation pipelines, and reliability frameworks that help Astra’s products run fast, safe, and smooth - so developers can focus on shipping, not firefighting.
