DevOps Engineer | Build Systems That Don’t Break

About Pocketful

We’re not here to maintain systems.
We’re here to build infrastructure that scales before it breaks.

Pocketful is rebuilding how India invests — fast, reliable, and brutally efficient. Backed by Pace, we combine deep market experience with startup velocity.

We ship fast.
Which means our infra needs to be faster.

What This Role Really Is

You’re not here to “manage servers.”

You’re here to own uptime, scalability, and reliability — end to end.

When something crashes → you fix it.
When something slows down → you optimize it.
When something doesn’t exist → you build it.

No hand-holding. No silos. Just ownership.

What You’ll Own (Core Responsibilities)

Infrastructure & Cloud

• Architect and manage AWS infrastructure (EC2, VPC, Load Balancers, Route53, CloudFront, etc.)

• Design systems that scale under pressure and don’t fail silently
  

Containerization & Orchestration

• Run and optimize Docker + Kubernetes workloads

• Ensure deployments are repeatable, reliable, and fast
  

CI/CD & Automation

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)

• Automate everything that shouldn’t be manual

• Ship faster without breaking things
  

Monitoring, Logging & Reliability

• Set up deep observability (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch)

• Track everything that matters — ignore everything that doesn’t

• Own uptime, latency, and system health
  

Databases & Systems

• Work with Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, RabbitMQ

• Ensure high availability, backups, and performance tuning
  

Infrastructure as Code

• Use Terraform to build reproducible, scalable infra

• No manual setups. Ever.
  

What We’re Looking For

• 3–7 years in DevOps / SRE / Infra roles

• Strong hands-on with AWS ecosystem

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines

• Solid scripting skills (Shell / Python)

• You think in systems, not tasks
  

Good to Have (But We’ll Know If You’re Faking It)

• AWS Lambda, CloudFormation

• Nginx, Apache, Tomcat

• Jira or similar tools

• Understanding of system design patterns
  

Who This Is For

• You take ownership of systems like they’re yours

• You don’t wait for alerts — you predict failures

• You care about performance, reliability, and speed

• You can handle production pressure without panic
  

Who This Is NOT For

• If you need step-by-step instructions

• If you’re okay with “it works most of the time”

• If uptime isn’t personal for you
  

Why This Role

Because bad infra kills great products.
And we’re not building something average.

What You Get

• Work on infra that actually handles real scale

• Solve problems that impact thousands of users daily

• Be part of a system where engineering drives business outcomes
