What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement private cloud platform architecture across on-premise environments
  • Serve as the integration point between compute, storage, and networking layers
  • Lead development of Kubernetes-based platforms, applying a “Kubernetes as code” mindset
  • Drive automation strategy using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform)
  • Build and support hybrid cloud connectivity to public cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Define and embed security architecture principles into platform design
  • Collaborate across infrastructure teams to modernize and scale platform capabilities
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership, raising engineering standards and depth within the team

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, or cloud architecture
  • Strong background in private cloud and data center environments
  • Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes (design, deployment, and operations)
  • Experience with Kafka and Spark in distributed systems environments
  • Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar tools)
  • Experience with container platforms such as OpenShift or SUSE Rancher
  • Strong understanding of networking concepts, including:
    • L2/L3 networking

  • Proven hands-on experience in platform engineering or SRE environments

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting HPC or GPU-based infrastructure
  • Background working in large-scale, highly regulated, or enterprise environments

What We’re Looking For

  • A hands-on builder, not a strategy-only architect
