Job description

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

Job Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Platform Engineer (Kubernetes Platform & Platform Services) with 6 to 12 years of experince to design, build, and operate our internal cloud/hybrid platform powered by Kubernetes. This role is for engineers who don’t just maintain infrastructure — they build platform products and services that enable development teams to move fast, safely, and reliably.You will take end-to-end ownership of platform services such as databases, message queues, caching systems, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and developer tooling. We expect strong engineering fundamentals, deep Kubernetes expertise, and a product mindset toward internal platforms.This is not a ticket-driven operations role. This is a builder role.

What You Will Do

• Design, implement, and operate production-grade Kubernetes clusters
• Build and maintain platform services:
  • PostgreSQL / MariaDB / Cassandra / etc.
  • Kafka / RabbitMQ
  • Redis
  • Observability / Monitoring stack
  • Secrets management
  • And many more
• Develop internal self-service tooling for developers
• Automate infrastructure and platform provisioning (IaC, GitOps)
• Improve reliability, scalability, and security of the platform
• Own CI/CD systems and deployment workflows
• Implement observability standards (metrics, logs, tracing)
• Lead incident response and postmortem improvements
• Continuously reduce cognitive load for application teams

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production
• Deep understanding of:
  • Networking (CNI, Ingress, Load Balancers, Service Mesh)
  • Storage and Stateful Workloads (CSI, Snapshots, StatefulSets, storage classes)
  • Resource management (requests/limits, autoscaling)
  • Kubernetes Operators
• Experience operating or building platform services:
  • Databases (replication, backup, failover)
  • Message brokers (partitioning, durability, scaling)
  • Caching systems
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, etc.)
• CI/CD systems and GitOps workflows
• Experience with at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Strong debugging and incident response skills
• Production mindset and reliability-first thinking

Nice to Have

• Telco/BSS domain knowledge
• Experience building internal developer platforms
• Multi-tenant Kubernetes environments
• Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd)
• Security hardening & policy enforcement
• Cost optimization in cloud environments
• Multi-region or disaster recovery architectures

What We Value

End-to-End Ownership

You build it, you run it, you improve it.

Strong Hands-On Engineering

We expect engineers who write code, automate everything, and dive deep into root causes.

Platform-as-a-Product Thinking

The platform is a product for developers. Developer experience matters.

High Standards

We optimize for long-term maintainability, reliability, and simplicity.

Continuous Improvement

Blameless postmortems, automation over manual processes, and learning from failure.

What Success Looks Like

• Developers can provision systems in minutes, not days.
• Platform incidents are rare and well-understood.
• Scaling is predictable.
• Deployments are boring.
• The platform accelerates product teams instead of blocking them.
