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.
