Overview

We are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Lead who can take ownership of setting up, managing, and optimizing our production and local development environments— specifically within VDI setups. The candidate will support a fully cloud-based web application built using Python, Django, and modern DevOps tooling. They will act as the go-to expert for all infrastructure-related questions across the engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

1. Environment Setup & Management

Architect and implement production infrastructure for a cloud-based Django application (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Set up local development environments for developers inside VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure).
Ensure consistent dev/prod parity using Docker, virtualization, IaC, or automation.

2. DevOps & CI/CD

Build and maintain CI/CD workflows (GitLab CI/GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins).
Automate deployment pipelines for backend, frontend, and any supporting services.
Implement infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible).

3. Cloud Infrastructure Ownership

Set up and optimize:
- Compute (VMs, containers, serverless)
- Networking (VPC, subnets, firewalls, DNS)
- Storage (block, object, DB backups)
- Databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL/Redis)
- Monitoring & logging (Prometheus, ELK, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor)
Ensure high availability, auto-scaling, failover, backup & disaster recovery.

4. Security & Compliance

Implement secure access patterns in VDI.
Manage secrets (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault).
Harden servers, containers, and cloud configurations.
Define policies for RBAC, IAM, least privilege, and secure deployments.

5. Troubleshooting & Support

Be the central expert for all infra-related queries from development teams.
Debug network, environment, deployment, and cloud issues.
Optimize performance across the platform (database, caching, API scaling).

6+ years in infrastructure or DevOps roles.
Strong hands-on experience in cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Solid understanding of Python/Django deployment patterns.
Deep expertise in Linux, virtualization, and containerization (Docker/K8s).
