About Solutionara

Solutionara is a U.S.-based IT Consulting and Technology Services firm with a Global Delivery Center in Noida. We deliver enterprise technology solutions for global clients across cloud, integration, digital transformation and modern engineering.

We are looking for a hands-on Cloud DevOps Lead who can take technical ownership of AWS platforms while continuing to work directly with infrastructure, automation, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, security and production troubleshooting.

This is a hands-on technical lead position, not a purely managerial DevOps role.

Monitoring, Reliability & Production Support

• Implement monitoring, logging, alerting and observability using tools such as AWS CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK or Datadog.
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for cloud, infrastructure, Kubernetes and deployment incidents.
• Improve infrastructure availability, deployment reliability, MTTR and change-failure rates.
• Drive proactive monitoring and incident prevention.

Technical Leadership

• Take technical ownership of Cloud and DevOps solutions from design through production.
• Review infrastructure architecture, Terraform, CI/CD and deployment approaches.
• Establish reusable engineering standards and automation frameworks.
• Mentor and guide Cloud/DevOps engineers.
• Support technical estimation, solution planning and architecture reviews.
• Identify technical risks and work with architects and delivery teams to resolve them.
