• 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:

• 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

• 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.
