Dev Ops 3 – Lead Dev Ops
Overview
We are seeking a Dev Ops 3 – Lead Dev Ops 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 Dev Ops 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 Dev Ops, 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 Fin Ops practices.
CI/CD Platform & Deployment Engineering
Architect highly reliable CI/CD workflows with Git Hub Actions / Git Lab 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 Dev Sec Ops policies.
Partner with security teams for penetration tests, threat modeling, and vulnerability management.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
Mentor engineers and guide teams on Dev Ops, 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 Dev Ops/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
Strong proficiency in IaC (Terraform, Pulumi) and Git Ops (ArgoCD/FluxCD).
Programming/scripting proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash.
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.
Certifications such as CKA/CKAD/CKS or AWS Solutions Architect.
