Yugabyte
About this role
Yugabyte builds YugabyteDB, a distributed PostgreSQL compatible database used by Shopify, Paramount, GM, Kroger and NPCI among others, deployed in over 100 countries. This role owns the infrastructure behind the company's own engineering: source control, build systems, test orchestration and release pipelines. The posting is direct that this is not passive infrastructure maintenance, and the problems named are the ones that make CI genuinely hard at scale: scaling distributed CI/CD engines, optimising massive test suites, profiling compilation and link times to shorten feedback loops, and making flaky tests debuggable. Kubernetes across AWS, GCP and Azure with Terraform and Ansible. Five years is the bar. Yugabyte describes itself as a distributed team across more than 12 countries.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, engineering or an equivalent technical field.
- 5+ years of hands on experience in DevOps, build or platform engineering, SRE, or a closely related infrastructure role.
- Production experience scaling CI platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
- Solid experience deploying, operating and debugging Kubernetes clusters and containerised workloads.
- Proven track record managing public cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure) using Terraform or similar infrastructure as code tooling.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, Bash, Go or similar.
- Deep knowledge of Linux systems administration, networking fundamentals and distributed systems concepts.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
Day to day:
- Owning and optimising the end to end developer pipeline covering source control, build systems, test orchestration and artifact release.
- Designing, scaling and maintaining distributed CI/CD engines for a rapidly growing engineering team.
- Building internal tooling for large scale test automation execution, observability and flaky test debuggability.
- Profiling and optimising compilation, linking and test cycle times to keep developer feedback loops short.
- Building cloud native testing and deployment environments with Docker and Kubernetes across AWS, GCP and Azure.
- Maintaining global infrastructure using strict infrastructure as code patterns with Terraform and Ansible.
The posting's own framing: it states explicitly that this is not a passive infrastructure maintenance role, and that you would work with core engineering, SRE, cloud and security teams to remove developer friction.
Location: listed as India with no city named and no office policy published, so clarify that with the recruiter. Yugabyte describes its team as distributed across more than 12 countries and multiple time zones.
Honest fit guidance: five years is a real floor and the build optimisation work (compilation and link time profiling) is more specialised than standard DevOps. If your experience is deploying applications rather than building the pipelines that produce them, expect that gap to come up.
