You will help build a compelling internal Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) product, ensuring our application teams can ship software at an enterprise scale—fast, safe, and efficiently. We don't just chase trends; we choose technologies like AKS, Istio, Flux, and Crossplane because they deliver real value to our ecosystem.

HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT:

• Design, develop, and operate a large-scale PaaS for containerized workloads, acting as the Azure Subject Matter Expert (SME) within the team.
• Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to plan and implement the technical roadmap for our strategic cloud platform.
• Build reliability and fault tolerance into the product, engineering systems that are simple to diagnose and fix. (Participation in out-of-hours support may be required).
• Streamline developer workflows by maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automating infrastructure through Terraform and GitOps (Flux).
• Guide and support the team by sharing technical knowledge, fostering an environment of performance and continuous learning.
• Implement and maintain robust security standards using tools like Hashicorp Vault and OPA Gatekeeper.

Requirements

YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• Extensive hands-on experience and expertise with Microsoft Azure in a commercial, large-scale environment.
• Strong experience with AKS and cloud-native tooling (Helm, Istio, Flux, Crossplane).
• Proven track record of managing and automating enterprise estates via Terraform.
• Proficiency in one or more of our core languages: Go, Typescript, Python, or Bash.
• Experience with monitoring and logging stacks (ELK/EFK, Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, New Relic) and a solid understanding of SRE/ITIL principles.
• Comfortable in fast-paced environments using Agile methodologies and tools like JIRA for diligent tracking.
• You display pragmatism, empathy, and understanding when interacting with stakeholders and developer customers.

We'd love to get to know you better!
