About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and own the Infrastructure-as-Code baseline that enables dedicated single-tenant or on-premises deployment with minimal per-customer effort
Stand up and operate Docker and Kubernetes (and K3s for small or in-bank installs), ingress, load balancing, and the CI/CD pipeline
Build and maintain the secrets and certificate story and the observability stack
Define environment promotion, release automation, and rollback procedures — making deployments boring and repeatable
Partner with Security on encryption, network isolation, and exam-ready hardening aligned to regulatory guidance
Right-size and operate GPU and inference infrastructure as the AI workload grows
Establish on-call, SLOs, and capacity planning practices ahead of beta scale-up
Document deployment architecture and operating procedures to support customer due diligence and audit readiness

Requirements

What you’ll need

8–12+ years building and operating production infrastructure, with 2+ years leading or setting direction for a platform or infrastructure function
Demonstrated experience shipping and operating software in customer-managed or on-premises environments — deploying and operating inside environments you do not control
Deep, hands-on Docker and Kubernetes in production (deployments, networking, storage, upgrades), plus strong Linux and networking fundamentals
Fluency with IaC and configuration management as a discipline — modules, state, idempotency, and reproducible images
A track record of making infrastructure reliable, secure, and automated rather than hand-tuned
