This role develops tools and services to streamline operations and the platform development experience, and brings subject matter expertise in cloud-native architecture and progressive delivery.

What You'll Do:

Technical Collaboration

- Define and promote cloud-native architectural patterns, and own adherence to them across the platform.

- Lead architecture decisions and design reviews, and act as the escalation point for complex problems.

- Foster a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing within the team.

Platform Operations, Reliability & Availability

- Design, implement, and maintain a secure and scalable infrastructure platform hosting a myriad of services for a global SaaS organization.

- Own the service level objectives (SLOs) that underpin our internal and external SLAs, and ensure they are consistently met, with a focus on high availability, resilience, and scalability across the estate.

- Drive observability and monitoring improvements across infrastructure, platforms, and services to proactively identify and resolve issues.

- Drive capacity planning and cloud cost optimization initiatives.

Compliance & Security

- Apply and uphold relevant security and compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, and NIST SP 800-53) in platform design and operations.

Automation, IaC

- Own the full solution design lifecycle — analysis, architecture, development, deployment, and ongoing operation.

- Drive the evolution of infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and progressive delivery to improve delivery speed, consistency, and reliability.

- Reduce operational toil through automation, self-service tooling, and standardization.

What You'll Need:

Technical Foundation

- 7+ years in infrastructure, platform, or cloud engineering, including 3+ years running Kubernetes in production.

- Deep understanding of software development methodologies and systems design.

- Experience in software development and large-scale SaaS operations.

- Ability to troubleshoot and diagnose issues across every layer of the stack, and drive incident resolution at the platform level.

Platform & Tooling

- Production experience with Kubernetes and other cloud-native technologies.

- Working knowledge of Kubernetes networking, covering CNI and network policy (e.g., Azure CNI, Cilium).

- Experience operating edge services — CDN, WAF, and DDoS protection (e.g., Cloudflare, Imperva, Azure Front Door).

- Deep experience using, operating, and developing on top of Azure cloud services.

- Strong command of infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates) and reusable IaC module design.

- Strong command of CI/CD pipelines and automation tooling.

- Advanced proficiency with observability and monitoring solutions (e.g., Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Datadog).

- Fluency in at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Python, Go) and strong shell scripting skills (e.g., Bash, PowerShell).

Compliance & Security

- Strong understanding of cloud security and compliance frameworks, with proven ability to align cloud environments to standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and NIST SP 800-53.

Professional & Interpersonal

- Proven problem-solving skills and experience working collaboratively in a team environment.

- Highly responsible, self-motivated, and able to thrive in an energetic, fast-paced, high-growth environment.

- Effective communication skills to interact with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and ability to produce clear documentation.

- Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to adapt to a constantly changing technical environment.

Education

- A bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as computer science or software engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

We'd Love to See:

- Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).

- Hands-on experience operating a service within a FedRAMP authorization boundary.

- Experience building self-service tooling for product engineering teams.
