Job description

Description :

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Architect with deep expertise in networking, storage, and Kubernetes to design and implement a cloud platform at scale, similar to AWS / GCP / Azure. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in infrastructure automation, distributed systems, and large-scale platform engineering, with the ability to architect and lead the development of multi-tenant, high-performance cloud services.

Key Responsibilities :

Cloud Platform Architecture :

Design and implement a scalable cloud platform covering compute, storage, and networking layers.
Define architecture for multi-cluster Kubernetes environments, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
Build core services such as identity & access management, service discovery, observability, and API gateways.

Networking :

Architect multi-tenant networking for VPC / VNet equivalents, load balancers, firewalls, and service meshes.

Implement SDN solutions (Calico, Cilium, OVN, etc.) and network policy enforcement at scale.

Optimize inter-cluster and inter-datacenter connectivity.

Storage :

Design and manage distributed storage solutions (Ceph, Rook, OpenEBS, MinIO, Lustre).

Architect persistent storage for Kubernetes (CSI drivers, snapshots, backup / restore).

Ensure data availability, durability, and compliance with SLAs.

Kubernetes & Orchestration :

Design multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms with advanced scheduling, security, and RBAC.

Automate provisioning, scaling, and upgrades using operators, Helm, and GitOps (ArgoCD / Flux).

Integrate with monitoring / logging (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK).

Automation & Infrastructure-as-Code :

Implement full stack automation with Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi.

Drive CI / CD pipelines for infrastructure and application delivery.

Build self-service capabilities for internal teams.

Security & Compliance :

Design security at all layers (network, storage, workloads).

Implement secrets management (Vault, External Secrets, KMS).

Ensure compliance with data governance and regulatory requirements.

Leadership :

Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define roadmap and priorities.

Mentor and guide platform engineers and DevOps teams.

Evaluate new technologies and contribute to open-source where applicable.

Required Skills & Experience :

Networking : Deep knowledge of TCP / IP, routing, load balancing, DNS, SDN (Calico, Cilium, Istio / Linkerd).

Storage : Hands-on with distributed storage (Ceph, MinIO, Gluster, Rook) and Kubernetes storage orchestration (CSI).

Kubernetes : 5+ years experience, expert in multi-cluster deployments, operators, controllers, service mesh.

Cloud & Infra : Strong background in virtualization (KVM, VMware, OpenStack) and bare-metal automation (MAAS, Ironic, PXE, IPMI / Redfish).

IaC & Automation : Proficiency in Terraform, Ansible, GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux).

CI / CD : Experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI / CD.

Programming / Scripting : Proficiency in Go, Python, or Bash.

Monitoring / Observability : Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, Jaeger.

Strong knowledge of distributed systems, high availability, and fault tolerance.

Preferred Qualifications :

Experience designing cloud platforms at scale (e.g., internal private cloud, hyperscaler background).

Contributions to open-source Kubernetes ecosystem (CNCF projects).

Familiarity with service billing, quota management, and multi-tenancy at scale.

Exposure to bare-metal cloud orchestration (Metal3, Tinkerbell, Equinix Metal, Ironic).

Strong leadership and architectural decision-making skills.
