  • Define cluster topology, autoscaling strategies (HPA / VPA / Karpenter), node groups, and networking models.
  • Build and maintain service mesh frameworks (Istio / Linkerd), ingress controllers, and API gateways.
  • Develop internal platform tooling for deployments, traffic management, rollback, and cluster governance.
  • Own cluster security : pod security standards, network policies, admission controllers, RBAC.

Infrastructure Architecture & Automation

  • Lead cloud cost optimization initiatives and implement FinOps practices.
  • CI / CD Platform & Deployment Engineering

  • Architect highly reliable CI / CD workflows with GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / ArgoCD.
  • Build automated release pipelines for microservices, operators, and stateful workloads.
  • Set standards for blue / green, canary, shadow deploy, and progressive rollouts.
  • Build reusable deployment templates and developer self-service mechanisms.
  • Reliability, Observability & Operations

  • Own organization-wide monitoring, logging, and alerting platforms (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana, New Relic).
  • Define SLOs / SLIs, reliability targets, and implement automated remediation workflows.
  • Lead incident response for high-severity issues and drive long-term fixes through RCAs.
  • Build platform-wide health dashboards, cluster insights, cost dashboards, and performance metrics.
  • Security & Compliance

  • Implement Kubernetes and cloud-native security best practices : IAM hardening, OPA / Gatekeeper policies, secret lifecycle, container scanning, and runtime security.
  • Automate compliance validations and enforce organization-wide DevSecOps policies.
  • Partner with security teams for penetration tests, threat modeling, and vulnerability management.
  • Technical Leadership & Collaboration

  • Mentor engineers and guide teams on DevOps, Kubernetes, and cloud architecture.
  • Lead technical design reviews, platform roadmap discussions, and cross-team initiatives.
  • Influence engineering decisions by providing architectural recommendations and operational insights.
  • What You’ll Bring

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management across engineering, security, and product teams.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with multi-cluster, multi-region, or hybrid-cloud Kubernetes setups.
  • Prior work with distributed systems, high-scale environments, or data platforms.
