About Us:

GEMGEM is a next-generation luxury C2C marketplace, pioneering the way people buy and sell authentic pre-owned fine jewellery online. Backed by decades of industry experience, we're combining deep domain expertise with cutting-edge tech to build a global platform with trust and transparency at its core.

Were looking for a single high-performing DevOps engineer to own and manage our entire infrastructure stack—not a large team, just the right person.

If you are highly skilled, deeply reliable, and ready to take ownership of production systems, we offer above-market salary, a trusted environment, and the opportunity to build something that matters.

This is not a junior role or a learning position. Only experienced candidates who meet the core criteria should apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and manage secure, scalable AWS infrastructure
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines with Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc.
• Automate deployments, backups, and monitoring systems (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term stability improvements
• Ensure high availability and performance of mission-critical environments
• Collaborate with development and QA to deliver smooth release cycles
• Enforce and audit infrastructure-level security best practices

Must-Have Experience

• 5 to 8 years of DevOps experience (not just system admin or support)
• Proven hands-on ownership of AWS infrastructure
• Strong experience with Terraform (or equivalent IaC tools)
• Proficiency in Docker, ECS, or Kubernetes setups
• Real-world CI/CD implementation from scratch
• Strong understanding of networking, IAM, and security in cloud
• Experience with monitoring/alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
• Clear communication and the ability to work independently under high trust

This role is NOT for:

• Those without meaningful hands-on AWS and DevOps experience
• Freshers or those looking to transition into DevOps for the first time

Why Join GEMGEM?

• Salary up to ₹26 LPA for high achievers
• High-impact role with real ownership and accountability
• Work in a fast-paced, no-bureaucracy startup environment
• Build critical infrastructure for a cross-border C2C luxury marketplace
• Flat hierarchy – report directly to the leadership team
