Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Kineto) New

• Design, implement, and manage the core infrastructure powering Kineto's platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including networking, security, and identity management.
• Build and operate resilient, highly available distributed systems using Kubernetes (GKE), Knative, Istio, and related cloud-native technologies.
• Automate the entire infrastructure life cycle (IaC) using Terraform and Terragrunt, ensuring secure, reproducible, and auditable environments.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions and TeamCity) and deployment tools like Flux and Helm for GitOps-driven application delivery.
• Optimize and manage the multi-tenant data layer on Postgres and Neon, focusing on robust tenant isolation, performance, backups, and safe schema management.

Operational excellence and reliability:

• Drive site reliability engineering (SRE) practices, including monitoring, alerting (Prometheus, Grafana), logging (Loki), and incident response.
• Solve complex operational challenges, such as optimizing scale to zero for cost efficiency, minimizing cold starts, enhancing autoscaling behavior, and managing queue backpressure.
• Implement platform-wide performance tuning (e.g. container resource limits, distributed locks, caching strategies, and GC configurations).
• Ensure platform security and compliance by implementing best practices for secrets management, network segmentation, and vulnerability scanning., * Own major infrastructure roadmap items, including multi-region deployments, disaster recovery planning, advanced tenancy separation, and ephemeral preview environments.
• Champion DevOps and SRE principles across the engineering team, mentoring engineers on cloud-native best practices, operational readiness, and debugging complex distributed systems.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define the long-term vision for the platform's architecture and operational model.

Do you have experience in Terraform?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Have five or more years of experience building and operating large-scale, commercial cloud-native infrastructure, with a strong focus on DevOps/SRE practices.

• Possess deep, hands-on expertise with GCP (or AWS/Azure) and Kubernetes administration and operations (GKE experience is a strong plus).
• Are proficient with infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools, particularly Terraform, for managing complex environments.
• Have a solid understanding of Linux internals, networking (CNI and service mesh), security, and distributed system design.
• Are familiar with CI/CD tools, GitOps (e.g. Flux), monitoring stacks (Prometheus/Grafana), and logging systems.
• Thrive in cross-functional teams and excel at communicating complex infrastructure ideas clearly.
