So, what’s the role all about?

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to join our AppOps team — someone who sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and AI tooling. This is not a pure ops role. You will be hands-on building internal tools, utilities, and automation frameworks that raise the technical bar for the entire team. You'll own deployment pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and drive AI-assisted workflows that meaningfully improve team productivity and delivery velocity.

If you're someone who gets frustrated by manual toil, loves writing Python to automate things away, and can hold a technical conversation with both developers and architects - this role is built for you.

How will you make an impact? 

• Tool & Utility Development

  • Design, build, and maintain internal tools, scripts, and utilities in Python/JAVA that streamline AppOps workflows
  • Build AI-powered utilities leveraging LLM APIs, or similar frameworks to assist team with diagnostics, automation, and knowledge retrieval
  • Own the full lifecycle of these tools from requirement gathering to deployment and documentation

  Deployment & Platform Engineering

  • Manage and evolve Kubernetes-based deployment infrastructure (EKS/self-managed clusters)
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD or similar)
  • Define and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Terraform or CloudFormation
  • Own deployment runbooks and ensure zero-downtime release practices

  Cloud Operations

  • Architect and manage AWS/Azure services - EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.
  • Optimize cloud costs, monitor resource utilization, and implement auto-scaling strategies
  • Manage secrets, access policies, and ensure compliance with security best practices

  Observability & Incident Response

  • Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and dashboards (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog)
  • Lead RCA (Root Cause Analysis) processes and drive post-incident improvements
  • Establish SLOs/SLIs for critical platform components

Have you got what it takes?

• Strong application + scripting development; building tools, REST API clients, automation, CLIs
• EKS and AKS management, Helm, RBAC, namespacing, resource policies, K8s troubleshooting at scale
•  Hands-on with core services; experience with EKS, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, CloudFormation
• LLM API integration, prompt engineering, building AI-assisted utilities (Claude, GitHub Copilot, LangChain, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock)
• Terraform (required); Bicep or CloudFormation as a plus; managing multi-environment state
• Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK/OpenSearch, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor
• Docker, multi-stage builds, image optimization, container security scanning.
• Bash, YAML fluency, Linux environments; comfortable in the terminal
