THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced Platform infrastructure Engineer who is a self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit to lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of our next-generation infrastructure and developer platforms. This role will focus on leveraging Kubernetes, Pulumi, Istio, AWS, and related technologies to deliver robust and scalable systems in a microservices environment. You will also play a critical part in shaping our CI/CD pipelines, IoT integrations, and developer tooling strategies to ensure efficient, reliable, and secure delivery of software services.

If you thrive in a fast-paced setting, enjoy taking initiative, and are passionate about building innovative platform solutions, we’d love to speak with you!

Automate & Refine: You’ll spend most of your day automating and improving how we run things in AWS and Kubernetes—basically making sure our microservices (and IoT systems) run smoothly, securely, and cost-effectively. Support & Collaborate: You’ll jump in with the dev teams, troubleshoot issues, and share best practices so everyone’s more productive—think of it as making the lives of your teammates easier through better tools and guidance. Strategize & Innovate: You’ll also have a seat at the table for bigger decisions—suggesting new tech, tweaking our pipelines, or finding ways to streamline processes, so we keep pushing the envelope on performance and reliability.

RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation - Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using Pulumi to automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of cloud resources. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and automate manual processes, streamlining operations and CI/CD pipelines.

2. Microservices CI/CD Pipeline - Design, build, and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for microservices. - Ensure best practices for testing, observability, and security are baked into the pipeline workflows. - Identify and implement optimizations to reduce build, test, and deployment times, increasing reliability and quality.
