About the role :

What you’ll do in any track

  • Provide technical leadership and direction while remaining hands-on in design, code reviews, and operations
  • Depending on experience and interest, take on either dotted-line project leadership or direct people management responsibilities
  • Operate and evolve business-critical platforms in AWS and Kubernetes with a bias for reliability, performance, and security
  • Champion infrastructure as code and automation, driving Terraform standards, CI-driven workflows, and strong operational practices
  • Mentor engineers, set clear goals, run effective rituals, and foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Partner cross-functionally to align roadmaps, manage risk, and deliver measurable outcomes

Build & Release

  • Own end-to-end CI / CD from commit to production using Buildkite or equivalent, ensuring fast feedback and safe, repeatable deployments
  • Design and optimize container build pipelines (Docker / ECR), Helm packaging, and progressive delivery (Argo Rollouts, canary, blue / green)
  • Evolve and operate the artifact ecosystem (e.g., Nexus, internal packages) for performance, consistency, and security
  • Drive developer productivity through scalable build systems, caching strategies, and paved-road
  • Compute

  • Lead the design and operation of Kubernetes platforms and core addons (EKS, ECR, Helm, Argo, observability stacks)
  • Own networking and runtime foundations : VPCs, peering, service mesh (Istio), ingress, DNS, and inter-service communication
  • Build automation and platform tooling that improve scalability, deployment speed, cost efficiency, and resilience
  • Partner with product teams to optimize workload orchestration, scheduling, and resource utilization
  • Storage

  • Own and evolve distributed data platforms : Kafka, Cassandra, Trino, and data-lake ingestion
  • Operate streaming and batch data pipelines at scale with strong SLAs on availability, durability, and performance
  • Implement multi-region strategy, replication, and schema management with robust observability and incident response
  • Improve reliability and efficiency across OLTP and OLAP systems through capacity planning and automation
  • Requirements

    About You : Common Requirements

  • 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, DevOps, or systems engineering, including technical leadership
  • 2+ years of people management or tech-lead experience with demonstrated mentorship and performance management
  • Proficiency with Terraform, Linux, scripting / automation (Python, Bash or similar), and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred)
  • Track record of leading complex initiatives, influencing architecture, and delivering tangible improvements in reliability and velocity
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in fast-paced environments
  • Build & Release

  • Deep expertise designing and operating CI / CD platforms (Buildkite or equivalent) and pipeline architectures
  • Strong background with Docker / ECR, Helm, and progressive delivery patterns (Argo Rollouts, canary, blue / green)
  • Experience operating artifact repositories (e.g., Nexus) and securing software supply chains
  • Compute

  • Strong expertise in Kubernetes operations at scale (EKS), cluster add-ons, and platform observability
  • Solid grounding in cloud networking and service meshes (VPCs, peering, Istio), ingress, and runtime hardening
  • Experience building platform automation, controllers, or operators to reduce toil and improve resilience
  • Storage

  • Deep experience with distributed systems for data : Kafka, Cassandra, Trino, and data-lake tooling
  • Proven operation of multi-region streaming / batch systems, including replication, schema management, and capacity planning
  • Familiarity with OLTP / OLAP performance tuning, durability trade-offs, and end-to-end data reliability
  • Benefits
