• Design and build core platform components and shared infrastructure services that other development teams will integrate with and leverage to deploy and operate their applications
• Architect, implement, and manage highly available and scalable Kubernetes platforms as a service for internal consumers
• Develop robust, internal-facing tools and automation for infrastructure provisioning and management primarily using Go (Golang)
• Architect and optimize foundational solutions within Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.), focusing on creating reusable patterns and modules for other teams
• Design and implement shared Event-Driven Architecture components and messaging platforms using technologies like Kafka or Google Pub/Sub that product teams can easily utilize
• Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Lab CI and ArgoCD) as a service, providing standardized and automated deployment workflows for various development teams
• Design and build resilient Distributed Systems components that serve as building blocks for other applications, focusing on reliability, fault tolerance, and performance
• Manage and optimize our shared infrastructure across Multi-Region Cloud Environments, ensuring that platform services are globally available and performant for all consumers
• Establish and enhance centralized Observability and Monitoring platforms and tools that provide self-service insights for consuming teams
• Define and implement clear, well-documented RESTful API designs for the infrastructure services you build, ensuring ease of integration for internal clients
• Implement and manage Service Mesh (e.g., Envoy, Istio) capabilities, providing traffic management, security, and policy enforcement as a shared platform for services

• Deep expertise with Kubernetes in production environments, particularly in providing it as a platform(i.e single tenant and multi-tenant deployment architectures)
• Strong programming skills in Go (Golang) and Python, with experience building robust, maintainable backend services and automation
• Extensive hands-on experience with at least one major Cloud Provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure); multi-cloud experience is a strong plus, especially in building abstractions over them
• Proven experience designing and implementing Event-Driven Architecture and message queuing systems (e.g., Kafka, RMQ, NATS) as shared services
• Solid understanding and practical experience with CI/CD pipeline tools (especially Git Lab CI) and experience establishing automated delivery processes for other teams
• Demonstrable experience designing and operating Distributed Systems, with an understanding of patterns for creating reliable, shared components
• Familiarity with Multi-Region Cloud Environments and strategies for building globally distributed and highly available platform
• Proficiency in establishing and utilizing comprehensive Observability and Monitoring platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog) for shared infrastructure
• Strong experience with RESTful API design principles and building well-documented, consumable APIs
• Knowledge of Service Mesh concepts and practical experience with solutions like Istio in a platform context
• Hands-on experience with…
