Overview

Lead DevOps Engineer: Experion Technologies, Kochi Experion Technologies Infopark Kakkanad, Kochi, Kerala 682303 Start Date 28/08/2026 Full-Time

Responsibilities

• The Lead DevOps Engineer owns implementation and continued improvement of Experion's Datadog observability stack for user-facing workloads. Day-to-day work covers real user monitoring, session replay, distributed tracing, and infrastructure-as-code across the client AWS environment. The role also runs point during campaign-readiness cycles, when Experion's international customers push traffic peaks that the platform has to absorb without degradation.
• Because the Kochi team supports campaigns for global clients, working hours align to campaign windows rather than a fixed shift. Expect extended availability for roughly six months of the year while campaigns run hot, with more predictable Infopark IST hours in the off-cycle. For comparable openings, the Kerala Trade Network jobs board carries current openings from Infopark and Technopark employers.
• Implement and evolve the Datadog observability stack, covering RUM, session replay, distributed tracing, and dashboards for user-facing services.
• Design and maintain AWS infrastructure using CloudFormation and AWS CDK, with a bias toward reusable modules.
• Own CI and CD pipelines built on GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline.
• Lead incident response for high-traffic production systems and drive the post-incident review process.
• Support engineering teams across infrastructure, platform reliability, and shared tooling.
• Run load and performance testing ahead of major client campaigns, including capacity planning.
• Coordinate with third-party infrastructure and cloud service providers for platform commitments.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of hands-on DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering experience.
• Deep Datadog instrumentation experience across RUM, distributed tracing, and custom metrics.
• Strong AWS fundamentals: compute, networking, IAM, and cost controls at production scale.
• Infrastructure-as-code with CloudFormation or AWS CDK, shipped in production.
• Working knowledge of GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline for build and release automation.
• Real incident-response background on high-traffic systems where downtime is not an option.
• Comfort with load and performance testing tools, plus interpretation of results into fixes.
• Clear written and verbal communication for cross-team and cross-timezone coordination.
