Job description
Responsible for designing, building, and automating scalable, resilient, and secure cloud infrastructure platforms that support modern application delivery across multiple public cloud environments. Leads the implementation of Kubernetes-based platforms and DevOps automation frameworks that enable efficient, reliable, and repeatable software deployments. Designs and manages container orchestration platforms using Kubernetes across cloud providers such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Implements GitOps deployment strategies using ArgoCD to ensure consistent, automated, and version-controlled infrastructure and application releases. Develops Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) environments using Terraform, enabling repeatable, scalable provisioning of infrastructure components while ensuring compliance with best practices and governance standards. Automates configuration management and operational workflows using Ansible to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual intervention. Builds and maintains CI/CD pipelines using platforms such as GitLab CI, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions to accelerate development lifecycles while ensuring secure and reliable software delivery. Collaborates closely with development, security, and infrastructure teams to align platform engineering solutions with organizational goals and cloud governance frameworks. Monitors, troubleshoots, and optimizes infrastructure performance while implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Loki. Ensures platform reliability, security, and scalability while maintaining comprehensive documentation for infrastructure architecture, deployment processes, and operational procedures.
