About the role
Razorpay is a full-stack financial technology company that processes $180+ billion in annualized transactions and powers businesses across India, Singapore, and Malaysia. The DevOps team builds and runs the cloud infrastructure and automation behind this fintech platform, operating at banking-grade security, reliability, and compliance standards. This role covers AWS infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, observability, and incident handling, with heavy use of AI tooling to accelerate infrastructure engineering.
What you will do
- Build and maintain cloud infrastructure environments on AWS, ensuring availability, performance, security, and scalability of production systems.
- Design repeatable, automated, and scalable processes to increase efficiency and improve software quality, managing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and working on internal tooling that simplifies workflows.
- Collaborate with application teams to apply DevOps practices in the development lifecycle.
- Automate and streamline operations and processes, including CI/CD pipelines, logging, and monitoring stacks.
- Create solution prototypes and conduct proof of concepts for new tools.
- Troubleshoot and diagnose issues/outages and provide operational support, engaging in incident handling with a culture of post-mortem and knowledge sharing.
- Use AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code) to accelerate infrastructure tasks — generating boilerplate IaC (Terraform modules, Helm charts,Dockerfiles, CI pipelines), interpreting logs, and debugging failures 2x–3x faster than manual authoring.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 1–3 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, currently practicing DevOps methodology.
- Proven experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS.
- Working knowledge of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration technologies.
- Hands-on experience with any Configuration Management tool like Puppet, Chef, or Ansible.
- Ability to do scripting in any one of Shell, Ruby, Perl, Python, or Golang.
- Troubleshooting and system engineering exposure in Linux production environments.
- Should be well versed with IaC, especially Terraform.
- Should be well versed with networking at AWS.
- Knowledge of CI/CD, Logging, and Monitoring stack.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment while continuously evaluating emerging technologies.
- Strong communication and analytical/problem-solving skills.
- AI Competency — Prompt Engineering & Ambiguity: Ability to prompt AI to generate IaC (Terraform, Helm charts) from well-defined specifications, and iteratively re-prompt to fix syntax errors in YAML, HCL, or Dockerfiles.
- AI Competency — Infra Code Quality (Human-in-the-Loop): Does not blindly apply AI generated output; reviews generated IaC to ensure it matches intended topology. Uses AI to generate basic validation (terraform validate, helm lint, shellcheck).
- AI Competency — Velocity & Execution: Completes standard infra tasks (CI pipeline, K8s deployment manifest, monitoring setup) significantly faster than manual authoring. Zero-friction switching between AI chat, IDE, terminal, and cloud console. Uses AI to interpret pod crash logs, terraform plan errors, and pipeline failures.
- AI Competency — Operational Awareness: Ensures AI-generated configs include health checks, resource requests/limits, and restart policies. Delivers working infra code with error handling and basic documentation.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in database technologies (MariaDB/MySQL).
- Have a few weekend side projects up on GitHub.
- Have contributed to an open-source project.
- Have worked at a product company.
- Have a working knowledge of a backend programming language.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
