Senior DevOps Engineer

This is a high-impact opportunity to be a senior DevOps engineer in a fast-growing startup, based in Prophecy’s India engineering center. You will own and evolve the foundations that keep our engineering org fast, secure, and cost-efficient at scale — spanning cloud cost management, security DevOps, and CI/CD and engineering operations. You will work with a team of dynamic engineers who take pride in solving complex problems, and you will have the autonomy to set direction in your areas of ownership.

### Cloud cost (FinOps)

* Own and evolve our cloud cost optimization program across AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks, Snowflake and Bigquery building on the programmatic monitoring and controls * Analyze billing, asset-inventory, and utilization data across departments to identify wasteful spend and provide actionable insights to optimize it. * Develop and maintain cost optimization strategies, roadmaps, and forecasting models * Partner with engineering teams to design cost-efficient architectures without compromising scalability or reliability. * Build and maintain automation for infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and cost control.

### Security DevOps

* Partner with engineering and security to drive our security-hardening program across workstreams such as identity & access governance, secrets & credential lifecycle, cloud access, and CI/CD hardening. * Implement and automate guardrails: secrets management, least-privilege access, credential rotation, and policy-as-code. * Build security into our pipelines and infrastructure (SAST/DAST, dependency and image scanning, IaC scanning) and remediate findings with the right owners. * Improve monitoring, detection, and audit logging across our cloud, source control, and third-party platforms. * Track hardening items to closure and help establish durable processes so the posture holds over time.

### Engineering-ops automation

* Drive CI/CD stability across our core repos — keeping master builds green, reducing flaky tests, and enforcing healthy merge processes (e.g. controlled force-merge policies with clear custodianship and follow-up). * Build observability into our build and test systems — dashboards on build health, failure categories, force merges, and test reliability — to make support problems visible and drive them down. * Identify and quarantine, fix, or retire flaky and low-value tests in partnership with repo owners. * Develop internal tools and automation to improve developer productivity (CI/CD pipelines, observability, local dev environments, release tooling, etc.). * Identify recurring engineering-ops toil and automate it away. * Stay current with modern DevOps, FinOps, security, and developer-productivity tooling to continuously improve our processes.
