About this role

We're looking for a Senior Engineer to join our Core Platform Service team, someone who thrives on building reliable, scalable, and automated infrastructure. You'll play a key role in rolling out, operating, and standardizing core platform capabilities, including EKS clusters, Hashi Corp Vault for secret management, and Argo for continuous delivery and workflows. This is a hands‑on engineering role where you'll design and implement platform services that empower application teams to deploy, run, and secure workloads reliably at scale.

• Lead and operate EKS clusters across multiple environments, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Implement and maintain automation, monitoring, and alerting using tools like Terraform, Grafana, Prometheus, and Datadog.
• Manage Linux-based infrastructure, including performance tuning, debugging, and kernel-level analysis.
• Roll out and standardize ArgoCD and Argo Workflows as part of our Git Ops and automation strategy.
• Collaborate with development teams to design and operate microservices and event‑driven architectures at scale.
• Troubleshoot incidents, drive root‑cause analysis, and contribute to postmortems.
• Design, deploy, and manage Hashi Corp Vault, implementing secret management, access policies, and integrations with workloads on EKS.

• Solid understanding of Linux systems administration, networking (DNS, TLS/SSL, HTTP), and container fundamentals.
• Experience in designing multi‑cluster EKS architectures or hybrid Kubernetes setups.
• Familiarity with RBAC design, OIDC authentication, and Vault secret injection into workloads.
• Experience designing distributed, event‑driven systems and microservice architectures.
• Familiarity with SRE practices, monitoring, automation, release engineering, and incident response.
• Awareness of cloud security best practices and common threat mitigations.
• Proficiency with Terraform and Helm for infrastructure and application automation.
• Scripting or programming experience (Go preferred, Python or Bash also acceptable).
