About the role

  • Design and maintain composable IaC (CDK or Terraform) patterns for Cloud Infrastructure (EKS).
  • Implement composable, idempotent, multi-environment GitOps workflows.
  • Optimize scalability and cost-per-performance using metrics-driven automation and autoscaling technologies such as Karpenter.
  • Develop and maintain observability across the platform using Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing.
  • Collaborate with application teams to define SLIs/SLOs and capacity models for mission-critical services.
  • Lead or participate in production incident response, postmortems, and reliability reviews.
  • Create and operate resilient CI/CD pipelines for safe, rapid deployments and rollbacks.
  • Champion automation, low-toil operations, and a culture of continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • Established experience operating high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems in cloud production environments, ideally in Platform, SRE, or DevOps roles.
  • Strong coding skills for automation and systems development (Go, Python, or TypeScript).
  • Proven experience operating Kubernetes at scale (EKS preferred) and applying IaC patterns (CDK, Terraform).
  • Working knowledge of GitOps and reconciliation loops in Kubernetes controllers.
  • Solid experience with CI/CD systems (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline)
  • Skilled in designing monitoring and alerting pipelines (PromQL, metrics correlation, alert noise reduction).
  • Experience with large-scale streaming or ad-serving workloads, including HTTP-based delivery (oRTB, VAST), event streaming (Kafka), and AWS network architecture (VPC, load balancers, peering)
  • Understanding of cloud security best practices (IAM, encryption, network segmentation, zero trust).
  • Ability to measure, analyze, and tune performance to achieve optimal cost and latency targets.
  • Experience with advanced GitOps patterns using Argo CD (nice-to-have)
  • Exposure to extended observability tools such as Loki or Tempo (nice-to-have)
  • Experience designing or operating high-throughput data pipelines to ensure reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient data flow (nice-to-have).
