OverviewA Platform Engineer responsible for building and operating cloud-native infrastructure that enables engineering teams to deliver products efficiently without infrastructure becoming a bottleneck. The role focuses on designing scalable, automated platforms across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure, with a strong emphasis on Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, and self-service platform capabilities.The position involves developing highly automated infrastructure where deployments are pipeline-driven, scalable, and require minimal manual intervention. Infrastructure is treated as code-first, with automation and reproducibility at the core of all platform operations.Core ResponsibilitiesBuild and maintain cloud infrastructure across GCP and Azure using Terraform, ensuring all infrastructure is defined and managed as codeOperate and manage Kubernetes clusters (GKE, AKS) using tools such as Helm, Kustomize, and ArgoCD for GitOps-based deploymentsDevelop and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines supporting both infrastructure provisioning and application deploymentsImplement monitoring and observability solutions using Grafana and Prometheus, including dashboards, alerting, and operational metricsAutomate platform operations using Bash and programming languages such as Python, Ruby, or Go, with Packer for image creationDesign and manage cloud networking architectures, including VPCs, peering, VPNs, SDNs, and network policiesImplement identity and access management (IAM/RBAC) and authentication integrations such as SAML, OIDC, and LDAPManage platform services including DNS (Cloudflare), messaging platforms (PubSub, Apache MQ), and API GatewaysProduce technical documentation and build self-service platform tooling for engineering teamsParticipate in on-call rotations to support platform reliability and operational resilienceProduction experience with GCP and Azure core services including compute, container platforms, networking, identity, and managed data servicesHands-on experience configuring Cloud VPN, VPC peering, and network policiesUnderstanding of security monitoring capabilities such as Security Command CenterInfrastructure as Code & AutomationStrong experience with Terraform, including designing reusable modules and managing infrastructure lifecycleAdvanced Bash scripting for automation and operational toolingProgramming experience with Python, Ruby, or Go for building automation and platform toolingExperience building machine images using PackerProduction experience managing Kubernetes clusters (GKE or AKS)Deployment management using Helm charts, Kustomize configurations, and ArgoCDKnowledge of container security best practicesStrong proficiency with Git workflows beyond basic commitsExperience building and maintaining GitLab CI/CD pipelinesAbility to design efficient, maintainable, and scalable deployment pipelinesNetworking & SecurityStrong understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals including DNS, VPNs, BGP, and OSI layers (L2–L7)Experience implementing network policies, IAM, and RBAC controlsImplementation experience with authentication protocols such as SAML, OIDC, or LDAPMonitoring & ObservabilityProduction experience using Grafana and PrometheusAbility to design meaningful dashboards and actionable alerts that minimize operational noiseAdditional Experience (Nice to Have)Cloud certifications for GCP or AzureCertified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or equivalent experienceExperience working in regulated or financial services environmentsFamiliarity with compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS or ISO 27001Experience with secrets management solutions such as HashiCorp Vault or Google Secret ManagerKnowledge of advanced networking technologies such as eBPFHybrid working model with flexibility between office and remote workOpportunities for professional development, certifications, and cloud platform trainingA collaborative platform engineering team focused on building scalable self-service infrastructure rather than traditional ticket-based operationsAn environment where engineers can directly influence infrastructure design and platform strategy
