Job Description

• Design, implement, and evolve highly available, scalable, and secure infrastructure on AWS and GCP. • Apply sound architectural judgment and long-term systems thinking while balancing cost. • Design and develop reusable platform tooling and infrastructure-as-code modules that accelerate build and release management while improving reliability and consistency across teams. • Partner with application engineering teams to define, improve, and enforce operational standards, deployment practices, and reliability expectations across services. • Independently lead complex infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and performance optimization initiatives. • Conduct structured root cause analysis for production incidents and drive systemic improvements to prevent recurrence. • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend improvements to platform architecture, scalability, and cost efficiency. • Document architectural decisions, operational standards, and runbooks to improve organizational knowledge sharing. • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to Platform Engineer team members on infrastructure design and DevOps best practices.

  • Deep hands-on experience operating Kubernetes clusters in production, including workload orchestration, scaling, networking, and troubleshooting.
  • Strong analytical and debugging skills, with demonstrated ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex, multi-system issues.
