We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.
 

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.
