About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Kubernetes platform ownership: Design, deploy, and operate production Kubernetes clusters across AWS EKS and on-premises / bare-metal environments — owning cluster lifecycle, upgrades, multi-cluster topology, RBAC, networking, ingress, storage, and workload security.
Platform engineering: Build golden paths and self-service capabilities — Helm charts, operators/CRDs, reusable manifests, and internal tooling — that make it fast and safe for product and delivery teams to ship onto the platform.
GitOps & automation: Implement declarative, GitOps-driven delivery (Argo CD / Flux) and treat all infrastructure as code so environments are reproducible, auditable, and recoverable.
Reliability & SRE: Define SLOs and error budgets, lead incident response and blameless post-mortems, drive capacity and autoscaling strategy, and continuously improve the resilience and security posture of critical workloads.
Observability: Build and own monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and similar) so the health of every deployed system is clear and actionable.
CI/CD pipelines: Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines that streamline build, test, and deployment across services and environments.
R&D and problem-solving: Investigate infrastructure-level challenges, prototype solutions, and bring them into production.
Debugging & issue resolution: Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure, networking, and cluster issues promptly to protect system integrity and performance.
