Thaltej on SG Highway in Ahmedabad also has a Lead Terraform Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a cloud and DevOps team managing infrastructure across multiple client environments. Twelve years of experience is the bar, reflecting how much is riding on infrastructure-as-code decisions that, done wrong, can take down environments across several clients at once rather than just one.
The role covers building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure provisioning through Terraform, and troubleshooting issues across development and production environments when a deployment doesn't go as planned. A lead here is expected to review infrastructure changes from the rest of the team before they apply, since a bad Terraform plan applied without review has real potential to cause an outage.
Required skills are Terraform at an advanced level, infrastructure-as-code principles more broadly, cloud platform experience across AWS, Azure, or GCP, and scripting for automation. A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a recognized cloud certification and demonstrated hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and automated deployment pipelines.
Thaltej's cluster of IT and business services companies has grown significantly over the past decade, and the client environments this role manages span different industries with different compliance requirements, which means infrastructure standards here can't be entirely one-size-fits-all across accounts.
Naukri Mitra has listed cloud and DevOps roles from this employer before, and past hires describe the review process for infrastructure changes as genuinely rigorous, with a mandatory second reviewer on anything touching production, a practice the team credits with preventing at least a couple of serious incidents over the past year alone.
Interviews include a Terraform design exercise and a discussion of a past incident you were involved in resolving. Candidates who describe what changed in their process afterward, not just how the incident was fixed, tend to interview well.
Performance conversations here happen roughly twice a year, and for a Lead Terraform Engineer specifically, the focus tends to land more on judgment calls and how issues were handled than on raw output volume. A colleague who ships a lot but leaves messes for others to clean up tends to get flagged in review, even if their individual numbers look strong on paper.
State management across dozens of Terraform workspaces is one of the trickier parts of this role, and the team has had at least one serious incident in the past tied to a stale state file, a lesson that shaped the current mandatory review process for anything touching shared infrastructure.
Client environments here range from a handful of small workspaces to sprawling multi-account setups, and the lead engineer's judgment about which Terraform module patterns to reuse across clients versus which need fully custom handling is one of the harder skills to develop, learned mostly through getting it wrong a few times early on.
The team maintains an internal runbook documenting past infrastructure incidents and their root causes, and new hires are expected to read through it during onboarding, not as a formality but because several of the trickier failure modes described in it have genuinely recurred in slightly different forms since being first documented.
The cloud team runs a quarterly review of infrastructure incidents across all managed accounts, and the lead engineer is expected to identify patterns worth addressing at the tooling or process level, rather than treating each incident purely as an isolated one-off to be individually resolved and forgotten.
This role is based at Thaltej, SG Highway, Ahmedabad, pin code 380059, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,55,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six to seven weeks.
