About The Role
The role owns the infrastructure that keeps production systems online, fast, and observable — Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD pipelines, cloud networking, and the tooling that hundreds of deploys per week depend on.
The team operates a multi-region cloud environment serving production traffic at scale. The role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and reliability work, with real authority over architecture decisions and a direct line to production impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes-based infrastructure (EKS/GKE) including cluster upgrades, autoscaling policies, and multi-environment workload isolation
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD to support safe, frequent deployments with automated rollback capabilities
- Author and maintain Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Helm, keeping environments reproducible and drift-free across regions
- Lead incident response for production outages — participate in the on-call rotation, run blameless postmortems, and drive remediation work to closure
- Implement observability across the stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; define SLOs and build alerting that pages on real problems, not noise
- Harden infrastructure security: IAM policies, network segmentation, secrets management (Vault), and compliance-driven access controls
- Partner with application teams to improve reliability, capacity planning, and cost efficiency — right-sizing resources and eliminating waste
What We Are Looking For
- 3–7 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles supporting production systems
- Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production — administration, troubleshooting, and workload design
- Strong proficiency with Terraform and at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure acceptable)
- Solid scripting and automation skills in Python, Go, or Bash
- Experience running on-call and leading incident response for high-availability services
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Bonus: Experience with service meshes (Istio/Linkerd), GitOps workflows, chaos engineering practices, or SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliance work
