• Design and troubleshoot networking components including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, routing, VPN, firewalls, load balancing, ingress, and secure connectivity.


• Build infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code and modern deployment practices.


• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable safe and efficient software delivery.


• Own platform observability, including monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards.


• Improve platform reliability through performance optimization, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and resiliency improvements.


• Collaborate with software engineering teams to improve service architecture, deployment workflows, and production readiness.


• Lead technical initiatives, architecture reviews, and adoption of modern infrastructure technologies.

We Are Looking For:

An insightful and influential collaborator to join our team. We encourage you to apply for this position if you have the following qualities:

• Cloud, Kubernetes, and physical infrastructure architecture.


• Production reliability, scalability, and operational excellence.


• Networking, connectivity, and secure service communication.


• CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure automation.


• Technical standards and best practices for platform engineering.


• Certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Advanced Networking, CKA, CKAD, Security+, or CCSP.


• Experience operating private cloud, hybrid cloud, or large-scale on-premise infrastructure.


• Experience with enterprise server hardware platforms such as Dell, HPE, Supermicro, or similar.


• Experience with bare-metal provisioning tools such as PXE, MAAS, Foreman, Cobbler, or similar technologies.


• Experience with virtualization technologies such as VMware, KVM, or OpenStack.


• Experience with NGINX, Helm, GitOps, Argo CD, or Flux.


• Experience operating large-scale, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.


• Experience with Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, and SRE practices.
