1. About Miracle Traffic AI

Miracle Traffic AI (MTSAi) is an international transportation technology company developing an innovative approach to one of the world's most pressing urban challenges: traffic congestion.

We have an established team of 18 professionals in our Bengaluru office, supported by international engineering, management, research, and business-development operations.

Our flagship technology, Reward-Based Congestion Pricing (RBCP), combines congestion tolling with financial rewards that encourage commuters to make transportation choices that reduce congestion.

Our business model is designed to generate substantial new revenue opportunities for participating cities while returning an approved portion of toll revenues to citizens who:

• Carpool or participate in verified shared-ride arrangements.
• Travel during less-congested periods.
• Use public transportation.
• Choose less-congested routes.
• Adopt other verified congestion-reducing behaviours.

Cities retain responsibility for tolling policies, revenue collection, and allocation decisions. MTSAi provides technology supporting pricing, eligibility verification, secure integration, incentive calculation, transaction reconciliation, and auditable reporting.

Our objective is to create a financially sustainable transportation system that benefits governments, commuters, and the wider community.

International Expansion

MTSAi is currently negotiating pilot opportunities in four major international cities:

• Bengaluru, India
• Budapest, Hungary
• Milan, Italy
• Toronto, Canada

These negotiations are ongoing; pilot contracts have not yet been finalized.

The proposed pilots offer the opportunity to develop infrastructure that can eventually operate across different countries, transportation networks, government systems, and regulatory environments.

We are building a platform intended for international deployment, not simply a single-city application.

2. The Opportunity

We are urgently recruiting an experienced, hands-on Lead DevOps Engineer to assume responsibility for our AWS cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, infrastructure security, monitoring, operational reliability, backups, and disaster recovery.

This is a senior technical position with substantial operational responsibility and direct access to executive management.

The successful candidate will help establish the cloud engineering and reliability standards required to support MTSAi's transition from development and demonstrations to authorized real-world pilot operations.

We are seeking someone who can independently assess existing systems, identify weaknesses, recommend improvements, and execute approved solutions.

This is a hands-on technical leadership position, not a purely supervisory or administrative role.

3. Reporting Structure and Leadership

The Lead DevOps Engineer will initially report directly to Mrton Ugrsdy, President and Chief Operating Officer of Miracle Traffic AI.

This reporting relationship reflects the importance of secure, reliable cloud infrastructure to MTSAi's commercial operations, international pilot readiness, and technology development.

The Lead DevOps Engineer will:

• Have substantial responsibility for cloud infrastructure operations, CI/CD reliability, infrastructure security, monitoring, and disaster recovery.
• Work directly with the President & COO on infrastructure priorities, operational risks, resource requirements, and approved budgets.
• Have direct access to the President & COO for urgent security incidents, material infrastructure failures, critical operational risks, and resource decisions.
• Work closely with Avinash, Interim Technical Lead, to coordinate engineering releases, platform integration, development environments, and technical dependencies.
• Collaborate with engineering teams in India and Hungary.
• Maintain clear documentation, operational reporting, and escalation procedures.

Future CTO Appointment

MTSAi is currently recruiting a Chief Technology Officer.

Following the CTO's appointment, the Lead DevOps Engineer is expected to report to the CTO for technical and engineering matters while maintaining appropriate visibility with the President & COO regarding significant infrastructure risks, resource requirements, and operational readiness.

The Lead DevOps Engineer will not be expected to perform the full responsibilities of the CTO or independently manage all software engineering functions.

The position provides an opportunity to work with the incoming CTO in establishing scalable engineering and cloud infrastructure practices.
