- Write, review, and maintain Terraform modules to provision and manage cloud infrastructure, enforcing best practices like module reuse and drift detection.
- Monitor platform health, respond to incidents, conduct post-mortems, and drive improvements to availability and observability.
- Collaborate with application teams to onboard services, creating documentation, runbooks, and self-service tooling to boost developer productivity.
- Implement security measures such as RBAC, network policies, and secrets management to ensure compliance.
- Integrate platform capabilities with CI pipelines to support end-to-end delivery workflows.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in a platform, infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE role.
- Solid hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (EKS, GKE, or AKS preferred).
- Demonstrable experience with ArgoCD or comparable GitOps tooling (e.g., Flux).
- Proficiency in Terraform for cloud infrastructure provisioning, including remote state, workspaces, and module design.
- Experience working with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Comfortable writing scripts and automation in Go, Python, or Bash.
- Familiarity with Helm for Kubernetes package management.
- Understanding of networking fundamentals, including DNS, load balancing, ingress, and service mesh concepts.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document systems clearly.
