Overview

We are seeking a DevOps 3 – Lead DevOps Engineer / Infrastructure Architect to own and scale our cloud-native infrastructure, with a deep focus on Kubernetes, platform reliability, and automation. This role requires strong architectural thinking, hands-on technical depth, and the ability to lead DevOps initiatives across multiple engineering teams. You will drive infrastructure design, build platform-level capabilities, and ensure our environments are secure, observable, cost-efficient, and highly scalable.

This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, SRE, cloud architecture, and platform engineering, and requires expert-level hands-on execution.

What You’ll Do

Kubernetes Architecture & Platform Ownership

  • Architect, design, and operate large-scale Kubernetes clusters (EKS / GKE / AKS) for microservices and data workloads.
  • 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

  • Design end-to-end cloud infrastructure architectures ensuring security, reliability, and cost optimization.
  • Implement and enforce Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform / Pulumi at org-wide scale.
  • Define patterns for multi-account architecture, VPC design, load balancing, secret management, and zero-trust networking.
  • 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

    Core Technical Strengths

  • 6–12 years of DevOps / SRE / Platform experience with deep Kubernetes expertise.
  • Hands-on experience designing, operating, and scaling production-grade Kubernetes clusters.
  • Expert-level understanding of :
  • Kubernetes internals (scheduler, controller manager, CRDs, operators)
  • Container runtime fundamentals
  • Cluster networking (CNI, service mesh, ingress, DNS)
  • Security (PSPs, policies, certificate mgmt)
  • Strong cloud architecture experience (AWS / GCP / Azure), especially :
  • VPC design, interconnects, NAT, security groups
  • Load balancing, autoscaling, resilience patterns
  • Monitoring stack setup and automation
  • Automation & Tooling

  • Experience building internal dev platforms, tools, and automation frameworks.
  • Soft Skills

  • Ability to drive architecture discussions and make high-impact technical decisions.
  • Leadership mindset with strong ownership and ability to influence without authority.
  • 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.
  • Exposure to eBPF, Cilium, or advanced CNI plugins.
