Job Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Platform Engineer (Kubernetes Platform & Platform Services) with 6 to 12 years of experince to design, build, and operate our internal cloud/hybrid platform powered by Kubernetes. This role is for engineers who don’t just maintain infrastructure — they build platform products and services that enable development teams to move fast, safely, and reliably.You will take end-to-end ownership of platform services such as databases, message queues, caching systems, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and developer tooling. We expect strong engineering fundamentals, deep Kubernetes expertise, and a product mindset toward internal platforms.This is not a ticket-driven operations role. This is a builder role.

What You Will Do

• Design, implement, and operate production-grade Kubernetes clusters

• Build and maintain platform services:

• PostgreSQL / MariaDB / Cassandra / etc.

• Kafka / RabbitMQ

• Redis

• Observability / Monitoring stack

• Secrets management

• And many more

• Develop internal self-service tooling for developers

• Automate infrastructure and platform provisioning (IaC, GitOps)

• Improve reliability, scalability, and security of the platform

• Own CI/CD systems and deployment workflows

• Implement observability standards (metrics, logs, tracing)

• Lead incident response and postmortem improvements

• Continuously reduce cognitive load for application teams

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production

• Deep understanding of:

• Networking (CNI, Ingress, Load Balancers, Service Mesh)

• Storage and Stateful Workloads (CSI, Snapshots, StatefulSets, storage classes)

• Resource management (requests/limits, autoscaling)

• Kubernetes Operators

• Experience operating or building platform services:

• Databases (replication, backup, failover)

• Message brokers (partitioning, durability, scaling)

• Caching systems

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, etc.)

• CI/CD systems and GitOps workflows

• Experience with at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)

• Strong debugging and incident response skills

• Production mindset and reliability-first thinking

Nice to Have

• Telco/BSS domain knowledge

• Experience building internal developer platforms

• Multi-tenant Kubernetes environments

• Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd)

• Security hardening & policy enforcement

• Cost optimization in cloud environments

• Multi-region or disaster recovery architectures

What We Value End-to-End Ownership You build it, you run it, you improve it. Strong Hands-On Engineering We expect engineers who write code, automate everything, and dive deep into root causes. Platform-as-a-Product Thinking The platform is a product for developers. Developer experience matters. High Standards We optimize for long-term maintainability, reliability, and simplicity. Continuous Improvement Blameless postmortems, automation over manual processes, and learning from failure. What Success Looks Like

• Developers can provision systems in minutes, not days.

• Platform incidents are rare and well-understood.

• Scaling is predictable.

• Deployments are boring.

• The platform accelerates product teams instead of blocking them.
