Platform Engineering Lead - Cloud & Kubernetes

Job Description :

We are seeking a visionary and hands-on Platform Engineering Lead to spearhead the design, architecture, and evolution of our next-generation Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

In this role, you will bridge the gap between development and operations, empowering our engineering teams with self-service capabilities, robust automation, and cloud-native infrastructure.

With 9 - 15 years of deep technical and leadership experience, you will champion a "Platform-as-a-Product" mindset.

You will lead a team of highly skilled engineers to eliminate cognitive load for developers, accelerate software delivery pipelines, and ensure our multi-cloud infrastructure is scalable, secure, and resilient.

Key Responsibilities :

• Architect and build a scalable, developer-centric Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that abstracts infrastructure complexity and enables true developer self-service.

• Treat the platform as a product : gather requirements from internal engineering teams, define the platform roadmap, and continuously improve the developer experience (DevEx).

• Design and maintain robust, multi-region cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure using a strict Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach.

• Develop reusable, secure, and version-controlled Terraform modules to standardize infrastructure provisioning globally.

• Eliminate manual interventions by automating environment provisioning (Dev, QA, Staging, Prod).

• Act as the subject matter expert for containerization and orchestration, managing large-scale Kubernetes clusters across EKS (AWS) and AKS (Azure).

• Standardize application packaging and deployment using Helm charts.

• Optimize cluster performance, resource utilization, networking (Service Meshes, Ingress controllers), and multi-tenancy isolation.

• Own the availability, latency, performance, efficiency, and capacity management of the platform.

• Implement advanced observability, logging, and tracing frameworks to proactively detect and mitigate platform failures.

• Establish and track key engineering metrics, including DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, MTTR, Change Failure Rate).

• Design, implement, and maintain secure, high-speed GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows for automated building, testing, and deployment.

• Embed security directly into the platform and pipelines (shifting left) by integrating automated vulnerability scanning (container, dependency, and static code analysis).

• Enforce identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and compliance controls across all cloud boundaries.
