- Drive Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation, and platform standardization initiatives.

- Improve developer experience through self-service infrastructure and deployment automation.

- Lead architecture discussions and establish Kubernetes and DevOps platform standards across engineering teams.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

- Define and champion reliability standards, SLAs, SLOs, and operational excellence frameworks.

- Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvement programs.

- Drive performance optimization, scalability enhancements, capacity planning, and disaster recovery strategies.

- Build proactive monitoring, observability, and alerting capabilities to improve system health and availability.
GitOps & Automation

- Architect and manage GitOps practices using ArgoCD for multi-cluster Kubernetes application delivery.

- Automate application deployment, configuration management, and environment provisioning.

- Establish deployment governance, release management processes, and operational controls.

- Ensure secure, consistent, and auditable deployments across all environments.
Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure

- Define and evolve enterprise Kubernetes platform architecture, standards, and multi-cluster/multi-region deployment strategies.

- Design, deploy, and operate production Kubernetes clusters at scale across cloud environments (EKS, AKS, GKE, or equivalent).

- Build and optimize containerized platform solutions using Docker and Kubernetes for high availability and performance.

- Lead adoption of Kubernetes-native tooling including Helm, Kustomize, operators, and service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd, or equivalent).

- Drive cluster lifecycle management including upgrades, autoscaling, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and cost optimization.

- Architect Kubernetes networking, ingress, storage (CSI), CNI, and workload isolation patterns for complex enterprise workloads.

- Establish Kubernetes security frameworks including RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, secrets management, and DevSecOps integration.

- Drive Infrastructure as Code adoption using Terraform or equivalent technologies for cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure.

- Partner with Security and Engineering teams to implement platform governance, compliance, and operational controls.
Technical Leadership & Collaboration

- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers across DevOps and platform teams.

- Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and Security stakeholders to drive strategic initiatives.

- Participate in architecture reviews and technology roadmap discussions.

- Work closely with global teams across EMEA and US regions.

- Demonstrate flexibility to work across overlapping business hours and shifts when required to support global stakeholders and critical production environments.

What We Are Looking For

- 12+ years of experience in Software Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).

- Strong hands-on expertise in DevOps, SRE, CI/CD, Infrastructure Automation, and Cloud Engineering.

- Proven experience implementing GitOps practices using ArgoCD.

- Deep expertise in Kubernetes platform architecture, cluster operations, and troubleshooting at enterprise scale, including Docker, Microservices, and Cloud Platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).

- Proven experience architecting, deploying, and operating large-scale production Kubernetes platforms in enterprise environments.

- Expert-level hands-on experience with Kubernetes tooling such as Helm, Kustomize, kubectl, cluster APIs, and platform engineering frameworks.

- Experience leading Kubernetes migration, modernization, and cloud-native transformation initiatives across multiple teams.

- Strong understanding of Kubernetes internals, container orchestration patterns, and cloud-native architecture at scale.

- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent).

- Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, alerting, logging, and production operations.

- Experience with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, ELK, New Relic, or similar platforms.

- Strong troubleshooting, incident management, root cause analysis, and production support experience.

- Experience developing automation and operational tooling using Python, Shell, Go, or similar technologies.

- Strong understanding of security, compliance, and reliability engineering principles.

- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and technical leadership skills.

- Experience working with globally distributed teams across EMEA and US regions.

- Ability to drive technical decisions, define Kubernetes platform roadmaps, influence engineering practices, and lead large-scale platform initiatives.

- Flexibility to collaborate with global stakeholders across multiple time zones and support business-critical operations when needed.
