• Collaborate cross-functionally to onboard new use cases and improve platform adoption

Requirements:

• Experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure roles
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD, source control, and developer platforms
• Hands-on experience with scripting (Python, Bash or similar)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, Helm)
• Good understanding of cloud, containers, Linux, networking, and security
• Ability to translate engineering needs into scalable platform solutions
• Strong communication skills and a user-focused mindset

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Kubernetes or container platforms
• Exposure to AWS, Azure, GCP, or hybrid cloud environments
• Knowledge of observability tools (e.g. Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, Splunk)
• Experience in regulated environments (finance, banking, payments)
