Position Overview:

Anaqua is hiring a Senior Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer in Hyderabad to embed with our platform team. Together with the team you will own the hosting CI/CD security and operations layer the rest of engineering depends on from GCP infrastructure and multi-region GKE to GitLab pipelines edge security secret management observability and incident response for the new Anaqua / RightHub stack. Hands-on infra. Hands-on automation. Java is not part of this role your delivery is the platform underneath.

Youll love this job if you like to:

• Own the GCP infrastructure with the team GKE clusters multi-region setup global load balancing autoscaling VPC networking DNS firewall rules and IAM.

• Help shape the company-wide standards for how services get deployed secured monitored and rolled back.
• Operate and harden the cluster node pool upgrades namespace / RBAC / resource-quota design rolling updates health probes base images and supply-chain security.
• Run the platform security stack gateway policies API-key and JWT issuance secret rotation OWASP and dependency scanning workload identity IAM least-privilege.
• Own observability and incident response on GCP structured logging metrics dashboards SLIs / SLOs / error budgets alerting post-mortems and on-call runbooks.
• Build internal developer tooling CLIs self-service workflows and golden-path automation that make the next service easy to ship.
  

What you will need to be successful:

• Strong production ownership on GCP operating real workloads not just standing up demos. GCP is the cloud we run on.
