DevOps Engineer - II/III

About the role

This position is dedicated to Infrastructure Automation within the HighRadius cloud ecosystem. The DevOps Engineer

Infrastructure Automation will own the design and execution of infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions that define the cloud landscape. The primary responsibility is to ensure all environments are codified, versioned, and deployable with consistency, security, and reliability. The role operates under an "Automation First" strategy, aiming to eliminate manual intervention in provisioning and configuration. The engineer will act as a technical lead for infrastructure-related initiatives across the platform team. Success is measured by the stability, scalability, and repeatability of the deployed infrastructure.
