Principal Engineer - Devops & Cloud

MiQ • Full-time • Bengaluru, IN • 1h ago

Job Description

Location: Bengaluru

What you’ll do

We’re MiQ, a global programmatic media partner for marketers and agencies. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, so you will be too. No matter the role or the location, we’re all united in the vision to lead the programmatic industry and make it better.

As the Principal Engineer for DevOps & Cloud, you will own the technical vision, architecture, and evolution of MiQ’s cloud infrastructure, CI/CD delivery systems, observability stack, and DevSecOps practices. This role carries significant leadership expectations: setting technical direction across teams, driving platform-as-a-product thinking, mentoring engineers, and representing the platform perspective in architectural forums and leadership discussions. You will be a force multiplier — your success is measured not just by what you deliver, but by how much better you make the teams and systems around you.

Who are your stakeholders?

Key stakeholders include the Engineering leadership, Product Leads, Security Engineering, and Leads across Engineering, Data Science and Analytics.

What you’ll bring

10–14 years of experience in devops, infrastructure, or platform engineering with deep expertise in cloud-native architectures.
Deep, hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) — networking, compute, storage, identity and access management, and security services.
Production experience operating and scaling container orchestration platforms(kubernetes).
Strong track record with Infrastructure-as-Code — module authoring, state management, and CI-driven provisioning workflows.
Experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms at scale for large engineering organisations.
Understanding of DevSecOps principles: shift-left security, policy-as-code, automated compliance, and secure-by-default infrastructure.
Experience building observability platforms — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting.
Excellent communication skills — ability to translate complex infrastructure concepts for engineering, product, and leadership audiences.

We’ve highlighted some key skills, experience and requirements for this role. But please don’t worry if you don’t meet every single one. Our talent team strives to find the best people. They might see something in your background that’s a fit for this role, or another opportunity at MiQ.

If you have a passion for the role, please still apply.

What impact will you create?

As a Principal Engineer, you will create a lasting impact by setting the technical direction for how MiQ builds, ships, secures, and operates its products. Your work will improve deployment velocity and safety for engineering teams across the organisation and reduce infrastructure costs through architectural optimisation and governance. Through platform-as-a-product thinking and proactive collaboration with cross-functional teams, you will establish technical standards that scale with MiQ’s growth, accelerate the adoption of modern cloud-native practices, and play a key role in making the platform team a strategic enabler for the entire engineering organisation.

What’s in it for you?

Our Center of Excellence is the very heart of MiQ, and it’s where the magic happens. It means everything you do and everything you create will have a huge impact across our entire global business.

MiQ is incredibly proud to foster a welcoming culture. We do everything possible to make sure everyone feels valued for what they bring. With global teams committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’re always moving towards becoming an even better place to work.
