The successful candidate will work closely with software engineering, cybersecurity, quality, architecture, and operations teams to improve developer experience, platform resilience, operational controls, and delivery speed.

The ideal candidate brings strong experience in platform engineering, cloud platforms, automation, Kubernetes, infrastructure provisioning, developer tooling, monitoring, incident response, secure engineering practices, and production support within regulated enterprise environments.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Automation & Developer Enablement

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support secure, repeatable, and automated application delivery across development, test, validation, and production environments.
• Automate build, test, deployment, configuration, release, rollback, and environment provisioning processes to reduce manual effort and delivery risk.
• Partner with engineering teams to integrate platform capabilities into sprint delivery, release planning, branching strategies, and deployment workflows.
• Continuously improve pipeline reliability, deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and recovery practices.

Cloud Infrastructure & Platform Engineering

• Provision, configure, and operate cloud infrastructure using infrastructure as code, reusable templates, and automated governance controls.
• Support containerized workloads, Kubernetes platforms, service configuration, secrets management, networking, storage, and runtime reliability.
• Implement scalable cloud patterns for application hosting, integration, data services, identity, backup, disaster recovery, and environment lifecycle management.
• Collaborate with architecture and platform teams to standardize cloud operating models, guardrails, reusable modules, and engineering accelerators.

Reliability, Observability & Production Operations
