• Implement infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, or equivalent automation tools.
• Engineer secure, scalable networking architectures including VPCs, subnets, VPNs, firewalls, service meshes, load balancers, and cross-region connectivity.
• Architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines, GitOps tooling, and automated delivery workflows using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Flux, or GitLab CI.
• Configure and operate observability platforms including Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, and Thanos for full-stack visibility.
• Collaborate with SRE and platform teams to improve reliability, reduce operational toil, and optimize performance and cost.
• Implement and maintain cloud security best practices including IAM, RBAC, secrets management, encryption, and compliance controls.
• Participate in on-call rotation, incident response, and root cause analysis for platform-related production issues.
• Develop and document runbooks, architecture diagrams, operational standards, and troubleshooting guides.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to capability‑building around modern infrastructure practices.

Required qualifications:

• 5–8 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or cloud operations.
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes cluster administration, operators, workloads, storage, and networking.
• Strong proficiency with infrastructure‑as‑code, cloud provisioning, and automated configuration management.
• Deep understanding of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including compute, networking, IAM, and managed services.
• Experience deploying and managing observability stacks including metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting.
• Familiarity with containers, networking, service meshes, ingress controllers, and distributed application architectures.
• Strong scripting abilities (Bash, Python, PowerShell) for automation and operational efficiency.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• Advanced English level (written and spoken) to communicate effectively across global teams.

Preferred experience:

• Experience supporting regulated or high‑compliance environments such as healthcare, life sciences, financial services, or critical infrastructure.
• Exposure to edge computing, multi‑cluster orchestration, zero‑trust networking, and global failover routing.
• Experience with storage platforms like Longhorn, Ceph, EBS, Azure Disk, or GCP Persistent Disks.
• Background in SRE practices including SLO/SLI design, error budgets, and resilience engineering.
