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 environmentsStrong 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 setupA team that values ownership, clarity, and kindnessHolistic 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.
