Job Description
About us
House of Biryan (Prosperous Brands Pvt Ltd) is a fast-growing, delivery-first biryani brand around 30 cloud kitchens across India and 6 in Dubai, selling through delivery partners and the Gulf aggregators. The business runs on OPX, our in-house operations platform: attendance, rosters, inventory and stock, store maintenance, complaints, assets, HRM and a live command centre integrated with Rista POS, delivery-platform data and in-store IoT telemetry.
OPX is entering a major modernize-and-scale phase as the brand expands across geographies. We are hiring its founding full-time engineering team a small crew of 2–3 engineers who will run, build and scale the platform end-to-end. You will ramp up through a structured hand-over with real tasks alongside the current engineering transition team, and then own the platform outright.
The role
You own the ground OPX stands on: a small self-hosted cloud estate (DigitalOcean) running a revenue-critical platform for a 24×7 restaurant business web/app servers, MariaDB, an IoT telemetry pipeline, nightly off-site backups and a young monitoring layer. Your job: make it boringly reliable, then make it scale.
You will
Own the infrastructure end-to-end: provisioning, cloud firewalls, TLS and virtual hosts, capacity planning (disk, memory, worker pools), cost awareness, snapshots and rollback discipline.
Replace legacy FTP deployments with git-based CI/CD staging to production with rollbacks and per-user accountability and keep it healthy.
Run backup and disaster recovery properly: automated nightly database dumps, off-site retention, and scheduled restore drills a backup that has never been restored does not exist.
Build out observability: uptime and data-freshness alerting, log rotation and review, response-time logging and dashboards; operate and extend our Python-based alerting service.
Lead incident response: triage peak-hour degradations (worker exhaustion, slow endpoints, disk pressure), write the runbook afterwards, and drive recurrences to zero.
Partner with the platform lead on the scale roadmap: managed database split, real production/staging separation, object storage and CDN for media, patch and reboot cadence.
Must have
3+ years operating production Linux: systemd, networking, firewalls, and web/app servers (Apache or Nginx, PHP-FPM or an equivalent application runtime).
A cloud provider in production (DigitalOcean, AWS or GCP): compute, firewalls, object storage, DNS.
Built or owned a CI/CD pipeline with rollback for a live product.
Backup and restore experience you can walk through concretely tooling, retention, and an actual restore you ran.
Monitoring and alerting you set up yourself (any stack), plus scripting fluency in Python and Bash.
MySQL/MariaDB operations basics: dumps and restores, slow-query logs, disk and space behaviour.
Nice to have
Infrastructure-as-code; MQTT/IoT plumbing; container experience (we are pre-container you would shape that transition).
Security-hardening habits; small-company on-call experience.
Pay: ₹700,000.00 - ₹900,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
