About the role

  • Design and implement a robust hybrid cloud architecture that seamlessly integrates on-premise infrastructure with major hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Architect systems for 99.99% uptime, utilizing multi-region failover strategies, load balancing, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Lead the design and management of enterprise-grade Kubernetes clusters (K8s) across both on-prem and cloud environments.
  • Define all infrastructure using code. Build and maintain extensive Terraform and Chef / Ansible repositories to automate provisioning, configuration, and drift detection.
  • Architect solutions using container-optimized, immutable Linux distributions (e.g., Talos Linux, Flatcar, Bottlerocket).
  • Oversee the architectural health of various database platforms (MySQL, MongoDB, etc.), ensuring proper clustering, sharding, and backup strategies are in place.
  • Design automated workflows for node rotation and recycling to apply OS updates and security fixes.
  • Implement rigorous image scanning and signing (e.g., Cosign, Notary) within the CI/CD pipeline.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in at least one major public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and experience connecting them to on-prem data centers.
  • Proven experience managing Kubernetes in production (CKA certification is a plus).
  • Advanced proficiency with Terraform and configuration management tools.
  • Deep understanding of immutable infrastructure concepts and experience managing minimal Linux distributions designed exclusively for Kubernetes (no SSH, read-only file systems, etc.).

  • Preferred Skills: Experience with Service Mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
  • Background in regulated industries (Finance, Healthcare) dealing with compliance standards (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).
