About Locus: At Locus, we are redefining logistics decision-making with deep-tech solutions that drive efficiency, consistency, and transparency across industries like retail and FMCG/CPG. Founded in 2015 by Nishith Rastogi and Geet Garg, Locus has evolved from a women’s safety geo-tracking app into a globally recognized logistics optimization platform.
Our technology has empowered enterprises such as Unilever and Nestlé to execute over a billion deliveries across 30+ countries. Guided by our commitment to innovation and sustainable growth, we transform complex supply chains into strategic growth enablers. Join us at Locus and be part of a team shaping the future of global logistics.
About the role:
You’ll own the systems that power Locus — from infrastructure and automation to CI/CD and reliability engineering. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can see the big picture, drive architectural decisions, and enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter. You won’t just maintain systems — you’ll build leverage across teams by leading with a platform mindset and creating scalable, self-serve infrastructure.
Infrastructure at Scale
Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.
Platform & Developer Experience
Build internal tools and platforms that help engineers deploy, monitor, and scale their services independently — with minimal friction and maximum confidence.
CI/CD & Release Automation
Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.
Reliability Engineering
Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.
Security & Governance
Integrate DevSecOps practices — from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.
Mentorship & Thought Leadership
Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.
Qualification:
Experience:
10+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infrastructure roles, ideally in SaaS, product-led or scale-up environments.
Automation & IaC:
Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and scripting (Python/Go/Bash). You automate first, troubleshoot second.
Delivery Mindset:
Experience of running fast, secure, zero-downtime deployments at scale — and improving release velocity without trading off stability.
Reliability Thinking:
Understanding of SRE principles, SLOs, failure domains, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
Collaboration:
Strong cross-functional communication. You’re as comfortable in architecture reviews as in incident retrospectives.
Bonus Points:
Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), internal platform engineering, or multi-tenant architectures.
