In this role, you will design, build, and operate hybrid infrastructure platforms spanning on-premises environments, Kubernetes clusters, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines. Your primary focus will be on developing and operating on-prem Kubernetes platforms, while supporting cloud environments such as AWS. You will also play a key role in advancing our observability capabilities, improving system visibility through logging, metrics, dashboards, and alerting. Working closely with hardware, software, and DevOps teams, you will own systems end-to-end and drive improvements in how infrastructure is provisioned, automated, and maintained. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working across the stack, solving complex operational challenges, and building reliable, scalable platforms. What you'll do * Design, build, and operate Kubernetes platforms, primarily on-prem, including cluster architecture, networking, storage, and lifecycle management * Develop and maintain hybrid infrastructure across on-prem and cloud environments with a focus on reliability, scalability, and maintainability * Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to enable automated, low-touch build and release processes * Manage AWS infrastructure, including multi-account environments, IAM, networking, and shared services * Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code and automation solutions (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) * Design and operate virtualized platforms and VM-based workloads * Define and enforce standards for containerization, including image management, versioning, and security practices * Build and support containerized applications running on Kubernetes (on-prem and cloud-based) * Develop and mature observability platforms, including metrics, logging, dashboards, and alerting * Design actionable monitoring and alerting systems to improve reliability and incident response * Support infrastructure for hardware-integrated systems, including OS deployment and lifecycle management * Improve operational efficiency by automating manual processes and enhancing system reliability * Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure consistent practices across hybrid environments * Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis, driving continuous improvement, * We look at the future and say "why not"; we see possibilities where others see problems or routines. We show the way ahead and are committed to achieving ambitious goals. * We practice straight talk and listen generously to each other with empathy. We value different opinions and points of views. We ensure that we connect outside as well as inside to learn from others and inspire each other. * We hold ourselves accountable for delivering results. We make decisions & take responsibility so that we can act & support each other. * As leaders we motivate & engage our teams to undertake beyond what they originally thought possible, by developing our teams & creating the conditions for people to grow and empower themselves through enabling & coaching. ## Related Videos - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
