• Implement and enhance monitoring, logging, and alerting to ensure strong observability and rapid incident response.
• Support application deployments and troubleshoot production issues across infrastructure and application layers.
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to improve system performance, resilience, and operational best practices.
• Gradually modernize infrastructure and deployment processes while working within an existing PHP/CodeIgniter codebase.
• Document infrastructure, workflows, and operational runbooks to ensure clarity, reliability, and continuity.

Qualifications and Job Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps or Production Operations roles.
• Strong experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production environments.
• Hands-on experience managing cloud infrastructure on AWS.
• Solid background in production operations, reliability, and incident management.
• Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting using modern observability tools.
• Ability to work with legacy systems and incrementally modernize infrastructure and automation.
• Experience supporting PHP-based applications or legacy frameworks such as CodeIgniter.
• Familiarity with infrastructure modernization and cloud-native best practices.
• Knowledge of database operations and optimization, particularly MySQL.
• Experience improving deployment safety through test automation, release strategies, feature flags, and rollbacks.
• Exposure to security best practices and compliance requirements in regulated or financial environments.
• Experience with performance tuning and scaling production systems under load.
• Familiarity with payments platforms, financial systems, or high-availability transactional systems is a plus.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially when working with distributed and asynchronous teams.
• Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment with evolving requirements.
