Senior Cloud Platform Engineer- Presto SaaS; BYOC, GPU Platforms

Introduction

We are hiring a senior engineer to design and deliver a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) platform for Presto SaaS across Azure and AWS (IBM Cloud is a strong plus), with a focus on GPU-enabled infrastructure. This role will lead architecture and implementation of secure, scalable, production-grade deployments for enterprise customers running Presto workloads on Kubernetes/Open Shift, with Git Ops-based operations.

• Production-ready BYOC reference architecture for Azure and AWS (with GPU support).
• Automated, repeatable deployment blueprints using Argo CD/Flux CD.
• Reliable Kubernetes/Open Shift runtime with clear SLOs, observability, and incident playbooks.
• Reduced onboarding time for new customer environments.
• Documented architecture standards and best practices adopted across teams.

Define and drive architecture for Presto SaaS BYOC deployments on Azure and AWS.

• Design GPU-native infrastructure patterns for high-performance query processing and related workloads.
• Build and operate multi-cloud Kubernetes/Open Shift platforms for reliability, scale, and cost efficiency.
• Implement and standardize deployment workflows using Argo CD and/or Flux CD.
• Develop cloud platform services, automation, and operators using Go and Python.
• Create robust provisioning and operational tooling using shell scripting and IaC patterns.
• Lead platform security, networking, IAM, observability, and production readiness.
• Collaborate with product, SRE, security, and engineering teams to convert requirements into production architecture.
• Own design reviews, implementation plans, and technical execution across teams.
• Mentor engineers and establish engineering standards, documentation, and operational playbooks.
• Troubleshoot complex multi-cloud and GPU platform issues in production environments.
• Contribute to roadmap decisions for Presto SaaS platform modernization and customer onboarding.

6-8+ years of hands-on cloud platform engineering experience, including senior-level architecture ownership.

• Strong production experience with Azure.
• Strong production experience with AWS.
• Deep expertise with Kubernetes; practical experience with Open Shift in enterprise environments.
• Strong experience with GPU infrastructure (sizing, scheduling, drivers/runtime, performance tuning, and operations).
• Strong coding skills in Go and Python.
• Solid scripting and automation skills with Bash/Shell.
• Proven experience designing end-to-end cloud architectures and driving implementation.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native technologies: networking, IAM, storage, security, observability, and CI/CD.
• Hands-on experience deploying workloads with Argo CD and/or Flux CD.
• Working knowledge of Presto (open source) architecture, deployment, and operations.

Experience with IBM Cloud (added advantage).

• Experience building BYOC or customer-managed deployment models for SaaS products.
• Familiarity with Presto ecosystem components and query engine performance optimization.
• Experience with multi-cluster/multi-region platform design.
• Prior contributions to open-source or internal platform frameworks.
• Strong ownership and decision-making in ambiguous, high-impact environments.
• Excellent cross-team collaboration and stakeholder communication.
