Position Overview:

Are you a highly skilled and innovative software engineer who lives and breathes Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native architecture, and intelligent automation? We're looking for a passionate individual to design, develop, and implement cutting-edge tools that transform and streamline our software engineering processes. In this role, you will be instrumental in designing, implementing, and operating the platforms, pipelines, and tooling that keep critical systems running at scale, all while dramatically improving developer velocity and security posture.

Key Responsibilities:

Platform & Infrastructure

• Design, build, and operate multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, OpenStack) with enterprise-grade security, networking, and observability
• Implement and maintain GitOps workflows (ArgoCD / Flux) for declarative infrastructure and application deployments
• Manage large-scale Linux and Windows server fleets used for build agents, runners, and critical tooling
• Drive Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible) across all environments with strong state management and drift detection

CI/CD & Pipeline Engineering

• Own and evolve enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines in both GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for large enterprise applications
• Implement advanced pipeline features: matrix builds, caching strategies, distributed compilation, artifact signing, and progressive delivery
• Embed security into every stage: SAST/DAST/SCA scanning, secret management (HashiCorp Vault), signed commits, and policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper)
• Develop and maintain Claude AI agents that automate pipeline creation, issue triage, release orchestration, and self-healing infrastructure tasks

Identity, Security & Compliance

• Integrate Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for SSO, fine-grained RBAC, and workload identity federation across all DevOps tools
• Design and enforce pipeline authentication & authorization models (OIDC, short-lived credentials, just-in-time access)
• Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards and audit requirements

Application Deployment & Reliability

• Architect and support zero-downtime deployment strategies for critical production systems
• Build and maintain observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry) with SLO-based alerting
• Drive chaos engineering, disaster recovery, and high-availability patterns for the platform itself
• Build internal documentation, runbooks, and training materials, mentor teams on modern DevOps practices

Qualifications:

Must-Have / Required:

• 8+ years of hands-on DevOps / Platform Engineering experience in large enterprise environments
• Strong Python skills for enterprise automation, tooling, and AI agent development
• Java + Spring Boot and relational/NoSQL database experience (for platform services)
• High-level Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD preferred) and container orchestration experience
• Deep expertise with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI at scale (including self-hosted runners and large monorepos)
• Proven experience with AWS, Azure, and OpenStack in production
• Hands-on experience maintaining critical systems with 99.9%+ uptime SLAs
• Experience implementing pipeline security, secrets management, and identity federation (Entra ID / OIDC)
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence across a large organization.

Nice-to-Have / Preferred:

• Experience building Claude AI agents or similar LLM-powered DevOps automation
• GitOps (ArgoCD), service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), and Helm expertise
• Project/program management skills
• Experience with large-scale C++ monorepos and enterprise build acceleration techniques
