About the Role

You'll lead a team of DevOps engineers while staying close to the technical work, setting direction on infrastructure, automation, and reliability. You will have a deep impact across the company by championing DevOps, security, and reliability principles, helping build a culture of automation, efficiency, and continuous improvement. You will work alongside experienced and passionate engineers, balancing technical expertise with team leadership in this hands-on Lead role.

Requirements

• Experience leading or mentoring engineering teams with the ability to set direction and contribute hands-on
• Strong Kubernetes knowledge, including cluster lifecycle management, API extensions, Operators, Helm, and the broader CNCF ecosystem (Cilium, ExternalDNS, Kyverno, Gatekeeper)
• Designing and operating multi-cluster, multi-region Kubernetes platforms with service meshes such as Istio, Consul, or Linkerd and policy-based workload placement
• Writing Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform on AWS or GCP using modular design, GitOps integration, and automated testing (Terratest, InSpec)
• Implementing GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD or FluxCD for progressive delivery, drift correction, and multi-environment releases
• Building containerized, serverless, or event-driven systems with strong observability using DataDog, Splunk, or OpenTelemetry
• Strengthening platform security through Vault-based secret management, least privilege access, and compliance automation
• Designing CI/CD workflows that include SAST, DAST, policy enforcement, and performance telemetry
• Improving reliability and resilience through SLOs, error budgets, and chaos engineering

Responsibilities

• Own the DevOps and Platform roadmap, defining the automation, scaling, and multi-tenant Kubernetes-based Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
• Engineer, review, and enhance Kubernetes and CNCF-aligned infrastructure, setting technical standards
• Architect multi-cluster, multi-region environments using Istio/Linkerd, Cluster API, and Kyverno
• Build progressive delivery frameworks with Flux and Flagger for GitOps-driven, canary, and automated releases
• Implement modern provisioning with controllers like Crossplane and ACK for Kubernetes-native cloud integration
• Define and enforce Zero Trust architecture with Vault, Boundary, service identity, and mTLS-secured meshes
• Engineer policy-driven automation and compliance using OPA, Kyverno, and secure supply chain configurations
• Establish IaC and GitOps standards, adding automated testing to every infrastructure change
• Prototype agentic infrastructure components, including deployment and observability platforms in service meshes
• Design AI Gateways and Registries for traffic and event routing between microservices and autonomous agents via CNCF Gateway APIs
• Champion DevSecOps maturity by embedding SAST/DAST, chaos engineering, and error budget monitoring
• Collaborate with Security, Data, and AI teams to shape DevOps and AI platform architectures with regulatory compliance
• Stay ahead of CNCF and AI ecosystem innovations, from eBPF observability to agent-aware orchestration

Benefits
