Role Summary

We are building a next-generation Core Infrastructure platform focused on:

• Zero-trust security and identity-based access
• Multi-region and multi-account scalability (multi cloud in future)
• Highly automated, self-service infrastructure
• Reliable and observable systems at scale

This role will own foundational infrastructure systems—networking, identity, compute platforms, and automation frameworks—that power all services.

Core Areas of Ownership

[1] Core Infrastructure & Cloud Platform

• Design and evolve infrastructure on:
• Amazon Web Services
• Kubernetes
• Build and scale:
• Multi-region and multi-account architectures
• Secure and scalable service connectivity (VPC, cross-account, cross-region)

[2] Security & Zero Trust

• Drive adoption of:
• Identity-based access (eliminate shared credentials)
• Implement:
• Secrets management using HashiCorp Vault
• Policy enforcement using Open Policy Agent
• Design:
• Secure service-to-service communication
• Fine-grained IAM and access control systems

[3] Infrastructure as Code & Automation

• Build infrastructure using:
• Terraform
• Pulumi
• Ansible
• Create:
• Reusable modules and abstractions
• Fully automated provisioning workflows
• Integrate with CI/CD:
• GitHub Actions
• Jenkins

[4] Cluster & Infrastructure Lifecycle

• Own lifecycle of:
• Kubernetes clusters (e.g., EKS)
• Databases (eg, rds/aurora/elastic cache. etc)
• Automate:
• Cluster upgrades and migrations
• Node scaling and patching

[5] Multi-Region & Migration Engineering

• Design:
• Region-agnostic infrastructure patterns
• Enable:
• Automated regions bootstrap and failover
• Lead:
• Migration initiatives (region, account, or cloud)

[6] Observability & Reliability

• Build and operate:
• Metrics, logging, and tracing systems using:
• Prometheus
• Grafana
• ELK stack
• Datadog
• Improve:
• System reliability, alerting, and incident response

[7 ] Governance & Standards

• Define and enforce:
• Resource tagging strategies
• Data classification policies
• Ensure:
• Cost visibility and auditability

[8] Developer Productivity & Platform

• Build:
• Self-service infrastructure workflows
• Improve:
• Developer experience through automation and tooling
• Contribute to:
• Internal platform evolution

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and scale core infrastructure systems
• Automate infrastructure lifecycle to minimize human intervention
• Design secure connectivity across services, VPCs, accounts, and regions
• Debug and resolve complex production issues across the stack
• Write production-quality code, tools, and frameworks
• Collaborate with engineering teams to standardize infrastructure usage

Minimum Qualifications

• 10+ years in a Software Engineering role or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with:
• Amazon Web Services
• Kubernetes
• Terraform or Pulumi
• Strong understanding of:
• Networking (VPC, routing, DNS, connectivity)
• IAM and access control
• Experience with:
• Automating infrastructure workflows
• High-availability and scalable systems
• Proficiency in:
• Python / Go / Bash

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with:
• Multi-region or multi-account architectures
• Automating infrastructure migrations and upgrades (e.g., EKS upgrades)
• Secrets management platforms (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)
• Familiarity with:
• Policy-as-code (e.g., Open Policy Agent)
• Observability systems (Prometheus, Grafana, datadog)
• Exposure to:
• Data infrastructure (Hadoop, Trino, Spark)
• Service mesh (e.g., Istio)
