Gurugram, IndiaSkeps, a blockchain-based tech company, offers the first microservices platform embedding financial solutions into customer journeys. Our innovative multi-lender POS financing solution simplifies lending for high-value purchases, integrating seamlessly into merchant websites, stores, and omnichannel checkouts, reducing purchase friction and boosting lifetime value. Weʼre looking for a Solution Engineer (Infrastructure SDE3) to design, automate, and operate secure,scalable cloud infrastructure on Azure and/or AWS. You will coordinate production releases, own platformreliability, and lead deep-dive troubleshooting—using Python and modern DevOps tooling to reduce toiland improve time-to-recovery
Apply NowAs an Solution Engineer, you will –
-
Release & Environment Management: Coordinate production deployments across environments; maintain CI/CD pipelines, versioning, and tested rollback paths; ensure clean promotion flows and audit-ready release notes.
-
Cloud Infrastructure Ownership: Design, implement, and maintain resilient networks and services (VNet/VPC, subnets, VPN/peering/gateways, load balancers, storage, IAM, secrets/keys); right-size and harden resources for security, cost, and performance.
-
Automation & Observability: Automate routine ops with Python and Bash (provisioning, health checks, drift detection, runbooks); improve metrics/logs/traces and build actionable dashboards/alerts.
-
Container & Build Tooling: Manage Docker images/registries, supply-chain basics; administer build systems (e.g., Jenkins/GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps) and enforce branch/release strategies in Git.
-
Incident Response & RCA: Triage infra, networking, and deployment issues; perform root-cause analysis; implement preventive fixes that reduce MTTR and alert noise; keep stakeholders informed.

- Security/compliance awareness (least privilege, key rotation, CIS benchmarks), and cost optimization.
- RDBMS basics (MySQL/PostgreSQL) for operational tasks and performance triage.
What Success Looks Like
- Reliable, repeatable releases with tested rollback paths.
- Measurable reduction in manual ops through Python-driven automation.
- Improved platform resilience and lower MTTR with clear RCAs and durable fixes.
- Right-sized, well-documented cloud infrastructure aligned with security and cost goals.
Experience: ~3-5+ years in Infra/Development.
