INTL. Sr. Kubernetes AKS Platform Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to help build and scale our Azure Kubernetes (AKS) platform as part of a broader initiative to make our application ecosystem cloud‑agnostic. This role will partner closely with an existing senior platform engineer to design, build, secure, and operate Kubernetes clusters that can be deployed consistently across Azure, AWS, and future cloud environments.

This is a hands‑on engineering role, focused on infrastructure build, automation, security, and observability—not high‑level architecture alone.

• Build, configure, and manage Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and scripting to support Dev, Stage, and Production environments, reusable and repeatable deployments using a single codebase.
• Implement security, networking, and firewall configurations based on enterprise architecture standards.
• Partner with platform and infrastructure engineers to maintain and operate Kubernetes clusters, support containerized application deployments.
• Implement observability and monitoring from day one, including logging, metrics, and alerting.
• Support long‑term platform reliability, scalability, and operational excellence (SRE mindset).
• Collaborate with global engineering, Dev Ops, security, and networking teams (primarily India‑based).

• Strong hands‑on experience with Azure, specifically Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure networking and security concepts.
• Kubernetes expertise – cluster build, configuration, management, and ongoing operations.
• Infrastructure as Code – proven experience using Terraform (or similar IaC tools), ability to write reusable, environment‑agnostic deployment code.
• Security & networking implementation – experience translating security and networking requirements into code, firewall rules, isolation, and enterprise security controls.
• Observability & monitoring – experience implementing monitoring and alerting for Kubernetes platforms, familiarity with Elastic or similar observability stacks.
• Senior‑level experience – typically 7‑8+ years in Dev Ops, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles.
• Ability to work independently, own deliverables, and collaborate across teams.
• Experience with AWS (EKS) or other cloud Kubernetes platforms, and cloud‑agnostic platform experience (Azure + AWS + GCP or private cloud).
• SRE‑focused experience – reliability, uptime, alerting, operational readiness, building enterprise‑grade platforms with strict security and compliance requirements.
• Familiarity with Prometheus / Grafana (or similar monitoring tools), multi‑environment deployment strategies.
• Experience working in global/distributed teams and prior experience helping evolve or establish a Platform or SRE function.
