The ideal candidate is passionate about reducing developer friction by building scalable tools, automation, and abstractions. This is not a traditional operations role. We''re seeking an engineer who writes production-quality code and treats platform infrastructure as a product. Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, build, and maintain internal platform tooling to support the software development lifecycle from build through production. Collaborate closely with developers to improve efficiency, automation, and overall experience. Create and manage robust CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD. Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform. Manage and evolve Kubernetes environments for development and production. Integrate security, policy enforcement, and compliance into deployment pipelines. Work with container registries, service mesh technologies (e. G. , Istio), and GitOps strategies for multi-environment delivery. Document platform capabilities and provide internal support to drive adoption. Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives. Required Skills & Experience (Must-Haves)To be considered for this role, candidates must demonstrate:Deep expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices.
