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.
