• Collaborate with Cloud Platform Engineering and Business Unit applications team to engineer infrastructure solutions to support their cloud-based applications
• Design, deploy, and operate Kubernetes-based platforms and workloads (EKS/GKE), including GitOps workflows (e.g., Argo CD).
• Perform system and database maintenance activities, including application deployment, backup and restoration procedures, patching, upgrades, etc.
• Support and enhance CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation.
• Maintain and support cloud environments, including incident response, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
• Document infrastructure designs, standard operating procedures, and support runbooks.
• Create and maintain clear, accurate documentation tailored to the target audience (e.g., engineers, support staff).
• Collaborate with development, security, and operations teams to ensure systems are secure and compliant.
• Participate in on-call rotations and support operational readiness.
• Participate in retrospectives to identify opportunities to improve platform scalability and supportability.

Expectations for Project and Initiative Work

• Contribute to implementation efforts for cloud infrastructure projects.
• Take ownership of discrete technical tasks and follow through to completion.
• Scope and track work progress using tools like Jira.
• Communicate status, blockers, and risks clearly to project leads.
• Participate in design discussions and reviews with guidance from senior team members.
• Follow defined patterns and standards to ensure consistency and maintainability.

The ideal candidate has

• 6+ years of experience working with public cloud platforms (AWS and GCP preferred) in a professional setting.
• Deep, hands-on experience deploying and managing Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) + GitOps (Argo CD) or other orchestration platform (e.g., Hashicorp Nomad / Consul)
• Deep, hands-on experience using Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions), and scripting languages (Python) to deploy, maintain, and support cloud infrastructure.

• Experience designing, deploying, and operating fault-tolerant systems with on-call responsibilities.
• Strong working knowledge of Git and common branching and collaboration workflows.
• Growth mindset and interest in continuous learning Strong collaboration and communication skills

You’ll really stand out with:

• Deep experience with building complex cloud infrastructure using Terraform Strong focus on security best practices (cloud IAM, least privilege, encryption)
• Experience with multi-cloud environments (AWS + GCP) Deep experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
• Deep experience with cloud observability tooling (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, Cloudwatch)
• Experience with data streaming technologies and middleware such as Kafka, MQ, etc.
• A track record of leading projects end-to-end, from design through delivery and operations.
• Experience designing for scalability, resilience, and operability in complex cloud environments
