Cloud Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and build self-service platform, such as Message Queue service, Observability service, etc, that would enable developers to focus on coding, testing, and managing their cloud-native applications.
• Automate and simplify lifecycle operations, such as provisioning and scaling using Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps workflow.
• Implement observability and alerting systems for the platform services, using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Elastic Observability to meet service-level objectives (SLOs).
• Collaborate with security teams to integrate and enforce security controls and compliance requirements of the platform services.
• Work with application teams to improve platform usability, streamline onboarding, and reduce operational toil.
• Respond to incidents and perform post-incident reviews, driving continuous improvement and operational excellence.
• Contribute to the reliability engineering culture, fostering shared responsibility for system availability and performance.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to define platform service requirements.

Requirements (Minimum Qualifications)

• Background in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field.
• Strong programming or scripting experience (e.g. HCL, YAML, Javascript, Python, or Bash).
• Good understanding of Linux systems, containers, networking fundamentals and distributed system operations.
• At least 1-3 years of hands-on experience operating cloud services in production
• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and configuration management (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Helm).
• Experience implementing observability and monitoring of large-scale platforms.

Good to Have

• Knowledge of Kubernetes security concepts such as RBAC, admission controllers, and policy enforcement.
• Experience with GitOps workflows and deployment tools (e.g., ArgoCD, Gitlab Runner).
• Exposure to reliability engineering practices, including SLOs, error budgets, and capacity planning.
• Experience with observability stacks and tools such as Elastic Observability, Kibana, Prometheus, Grafana and Open Telemetry.
• Knowledge of networking protocols (HTTP, TCP, DNS) and troubleshooting tools.
• Passion for open-source technologies.
