About the role

- Collaborate closely with internal engineering teams to understand product requirements, identify system constraints, and design solutions that balance performance, reliability, and cost.
- Own AWS EKS clusters and Kubernetes workloads, including autoscaling (Karpenter), FluxCD -based GitOps, Helm charts, and custom SDKs for reusable deployments.
- Design and manage core cloud services—VPCs, VPNs, IAM, S3, RDS, ECR, load balancing, and network security controls.
- Build, maintain, and document infrastructure templates and developer enablement tooling to allow teams to deploy independently.
- Implement observability and monitoring systems using Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki for infrastructure and application metrics.
- Establish and contribute to CI/CD best practices using GitHub Actions and related automation pipelines.
- Participate in on-call rotations and respond to infrastructure alerts, RFIs, and external requests.
- Author and review technical design documents and proposals for infrastructure initiatives, architecture changes, and new services.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to peers, helping elevate infrastructure craftsmanship across the organization.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering roles, including 2+ years in a senior or principal capacity.
- Proven experience designing and delivering complete cloud infrastructure solutions independently.

- Experience with Azure cloud services (VMs, networking, AKS, identity, monitoring) is a strong plus.
- Proficiency with Pulumi (TypeScript or Python) or Terraform is required.
- Strong Kubernetes expertise: workload management, autoscaling, GitOps (FluxCD), Helm, Kustomize.
- Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
- Skilled in containerization (Docker) and maintaining image registries and artifact repositories.
- Solid understanding of networking and security fundamentals (VPNs, firewall rules, IAM policies, encryption).
- Familiarity with observability and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki).
- Excellent communicator, able to write and present technical designs and proposals clearly.
