Staff Platform Engineer

Hevo Data Inc.; Bengaluru; Sur place; INR 4 500 000 - 7 500 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Hevo Data Inc. in Bengaluru invites a Staff Platform Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and observability of the production infrastructure across AWS, GCP and Kubernetes. This is a senior, hands-on role shaping the technical direction for Platform/DevOps.

You will lead incident management, drive infrastructure-as-code, design CI/CD pipelines, operate scaled Kubernetes clusters, and mentor other engineers while optimizing capacity and cloud costs.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform engineering, with Staff/Lead experience.
• Hands-on production Kubernetes at scale.
• Strong AWS experience (EC2, VPC, EKS, RDS, IAM).
• Proven observability stack experience.
• Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Go, or Bash).
• Infrastructure‑as‑code experience (Terraform, Ansible).
• CI/CD pipeline design and ownership (Jenkins or similar).
• Solid networking fundamentals.
• Experience owning on‑call/incident management and postmortems.
• Excellent communication skills — able to influence engineering decisions across teams without direct authority.

Responsabilités

• Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and performance of Hevo's production infrastructure on AWS, GCP and Kubernetes
• Design and evolve our observability stack — metrics, logs, traces, alerting, SLIs/SLOs, and error budgets
• Lead incident management: on‑call rotations, blameless postmortems, and systematically reducing MTTA/MTTR
• Drive infrastructure‑as‑code practices (Terraform, Ansible) and own CI/CD pipeline design
• Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters at scale — upgrades, autoscaling, cost optimization, multi‑tenant workloads
• Own network architecture and security posture for cloud infrastructure (VPCs, load balancers, service mesh, zero‑trust networking)
• Partner with product engineering teams to embed reliability and operational excellence into the software lifecycle
• Mentor and uplevel other platform engineers; set technical direction and engineering best practices
• Own capacity planning and cost optimization for cloud infrastructure

About the Role

Hevo's platform moves and transforms data for thousands of customers, around the clock. We're looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to own the reliability, scalability, and observability of the infrastructure that makes that possible — a senior, hands‑on engineer who can both operate at depth in AWS and Kubernetes and set technical direction for the broader Platform/DevOps function.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end reliability, scalability, and performance of Hevo's production infrastructure on AWS, GCP and Kubernetes

• Design and evolve our observability stack — metrics, logs, traces, alerting, SLIs/SLOs, and error budgets

• Lead incident management: on‑call rotations, blameless postmortems, and systematically reducing MTTA/MTTR

• Drive infrastructure‑as‑code practices (Terraform, Ansible) and own CI/CD pipeline design

• Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters at scale — upgrades, autoscaling, cost optimization, multi‑tenant workloads

• Own network architecture and security posture for cloud infrastructure (VPCs, load balancers, service mesh, zero‑trust networking)

• Partner with product engineering teams to embed reliability and operational excellence into the software lifecycle

• Mentor and uplevel other platform engineers; set technical direction and engineering best practices

• Own capacity planning and cost optimization for cloud infrastructure

What We're Looking For — Must‑Haves

• 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform engineering roles, including meaningful time operating at Staff/Lead level

• Deep, hands‑on expertise running production Kubernetes at scale

• Strong AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, EKS, RDS, IAM, networking, security groups)

• Proven track record building observability stacks (OTel, Grafana, Telegraf, Influx or similar)

• Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Go, or Bash)

• Infrastructure‑as‑code experience (Terraform, Ansible)

• CI/CD pipeline design and ownership (Jenkins or similar)

• Solid networking fundamentals — TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, VPNs, service mesh

• Experience owning on‑call/incident management and driving a strong postmortem culture

• Excellent communication skills — able to influence engineering decisions across teams without direct authority

Nice to Have

• Experience with multi‑region or multi‑cloud architectures

• Familiarity with cost optimization / FinOps practices

• Exposure to compliance‑driven environments (SOC 2, GDPR)

• Prior experience at a SaaS or data infrastructure company
