Senior Cloud Platform Engineer

Summary: Responsible for designing, building, and operating scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure. Focus on platform enablement, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, event-driven streaming, and operational excellence across multi-account AWS environments — empowering engineering teams through self-service tooling and reliable, well-governed cloud foundations.

Responsibilities: Design and operate scalable, highly available, multi-account cloud infrastructure (AWS). Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code modules and standards using Terraform. Develop reusable platform patterns, landing zones, and golden paths for engineering teams. Optimize and operate CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness). Enable developer self-service and reduce manual intervention through automation. Manage Kubernetes platforms (EKS) — networking, scaling, upgrades, and workload onboarding. Operate and support Kafka-based event streaming platforms — topics, schemas, connectors, and cluster reliability. Build and integrate REST APIs and self-service tooling to streamline platform workflows. Implement cloud security and governance (IAM, OAuth/OIDC, OKTA, SSL/TLS, secrets management). Drive cloud cost optimization, capacity planning, and FinOps practices. Implement observability — metrics, logging, tracing, alerting, and SLOs. Lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis across platform and runtime systems. Partner with application teams to troubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and runtime issues. Drive continuous improvement using operational insights and user feedback. Enhance documentation, runbooks, and platform usability.

Requirements: Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving across distributed systems. Ability to translate operational issues into durable platform improvements. Systems-thinking approach to reliability, security, and cost. Effective collaboration and technical mentorship across engineering teams. Required SkillsCloud: AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC/Networking, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda). IaC: Terraform (modules, state management, policy-as-code).

CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Harness. APIs & Integration: REST APIs (design, development, integration), Async APIs. Containers & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS). Security: OAuth, OIDC, OKTA, SSL/TLS, IAM, secrets management. Preferred SkillsEvent Streaming: Kafka, Confluent (topics, schemas, Kafka Connect, cluster linking). Monitoring/Observability: Datadog, CloudWatch. Programming/Scripting: Java/Python.

Benefits: Details regarding benefits are typically discussed during the hiring process and may include health insurance, retirement plans, and other perks.
