About the role

  • Design, implement, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to support our multi-tenant SaaS platform across development, staging, and production environments.
  • Manage and optimize containerized applications on AWS ECS and design Kubernetes deployment strategies, including Helm charts, operators, and GitOps workflows.
  • Ensure efficient resource utilization and auto-scaling for JVM-based Spring Boot applications and Node.js services, and assist with migrating and implementing Kubernetes clusters for core platform services.
  • Implement and maintain API gateway integrations (Azure, AWS, MuleSoft, Kong, Gravitee, Envoy) to support metering and monetization of AI/API traffic, collaborating with engineering teams on plugin and policy deployment.
  • Enhance and maintain CI/CD pipelines (CircleCI) to enable rapid, reliable deployments with zero downtime, including rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and automated rollback strategies.
  • Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting using CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and other tools to ensure rapid incident detection and resolution.
  • Optimize system performance across distributed architectures, including Apache Flink, Kafka streaming (MSK), and Redis caching layers, ensuring high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Implement and maintain security best practices, including network isolation, secret management, and runtime security scanning, while supporting compliance requirements for enterprise customers.
  • Develop automation scripts and tools to streamline operational tasks, reduce manual effort, and improve overall team productivity.
