Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer, Platform Engineering based in India.

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable platform and infrastructure solutions.
In this role, you will contribute to systems that support the entire software development lifecycle, from build and testing to deployment and operations.
You will play a key role in improving developer productivity, infrastructure reliability, security, and observability across large-scale distributed systems.
Working with cloud technologies, automation, and modern platform engineering tools, you will help streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency.
You will collaborate closely with engineering, SRE, and security teams to deliver robust, scalable, and secure solutions.
This opportunity offers significant technical ownership and the chance to influence engineering practices across multiple global products and services.
Join a collaborative, fast-paced environment that values innovation, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement.

Accountabilities

• Design, develop, and maintain platform features, infrastructure components, and engineering tools supporting the full software development lifecycle, including build, testing, deployment, and operations.

• Support the migration, rollout, and adoption of new platform capabilities, tools, and technologies across engineering teams.

• Improve platform stability, scalability, availability, and security in collaboration with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Security teams.

• Enhance service and platform observability to improve monitoring, reduce incidents, optimize performance, and manage infrastructure costs.

• Automate recurring platform operations and engineering workflows to reduce manual effort, operational complexity, and technical toil.

• Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure and platform services that support production workloads.

• Advocate for engineering best practices, infrastructure automation, and efficient software development processes.

• Engage with internal developers and stakeholders to understand their challenges, gather requirements, and identify opportunities to improve developer experience.

• Contribute to technical decision-making, solution design, and prioritization of platform initiatives.

• Develop practical solutions using existing tools and technologies while promoting maintainability, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Requirements:

• At least 6 years of experience developing, operating, and maintaining complex, scalable production systems, including cloud-based platforms and infrastructure.

• Strong computer science fundamentals and in-depth knowledge of a major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

• Hands‑on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.

• Strong proficiency in scripting and automation using languages such as Bash, Go, or Python.

• Extensive experience implementing and managing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly using tools such as Terraform.

• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to document technical designs and collaborate effectively with stakeholders.

• Strong teamwork, interpersonal, and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to adapt to a dynamic engineering environment.

• Passion for improving developer productivity and experience through scalable infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering.

• Pragmatic approach to technical challenges, with an emphasis on selecting appropriate technologies and leveraging existing tools rather than unnecessarily reinventing solutions.

• Preferred qualifications: Experience with distributed systems and microservices architecture; understanding of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs); familiarity with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Graphite, Grafana, Kibana, or Elasticsearch; contributions to open-source projects or communities; and production experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio, Kong, or Linkerd.

Benefits:

• Full-time employment.

• Hybrid work arrangement based in Bengaluru, India.

• Flexible working model with 2 days per week in the office and 3 days working remotely.

• Opportunity to work on large-scale platform infrastructure supporting multiple products and business areas.

• Significant technical ownership and opportunities to influence engineering decisions.

• Collaborative engineering culture emphasizing innovation, continuous learning, and professional development.

• Opportunity to contribute to global engineering initiatives and work with experienced technical teams.

• Office-based collaboration encouraged, particularly during the initial establishment of the Bengaluru office.

• Hybrid work policies reviewed periodically to accommodate evolving organizational needs.
