## About the Role

* 3+ years in platform or infrastructure engineering, with hands-on production Kubernetes experience (AKS strongly preferred)
 * Strong proficiency with PostgreSQL - schema design, performance tuning, HA configuration, and operational management
 * Hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure services: AKS, Azure Key Vault, Azure Container Registry, Azure Monitor, and Azure networking
 * Experience with Microsoft Fabric administration - workspace management, capacity configuration, service principal access, and API-based provisioning
 * Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Bicep, Terraform, or Pulumi) and GitOps practices
 * Experience designing and operating multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure - namespace isolation, resource quotas, and tenant lifecycle management
 * Strong understanding of Kubernetes security primitives - RBAC, network policies, pod security standards, and secrets management
 * Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and operation (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or comparable)
 * Solid understanding of OAuth2/OIDC and enterprise identity integration patterns

Preferred:

 * Experience with Refold or comparable MCP service infrastructure
 * Familiarity with Ory (Hydra, Kratos) for identity and access management
 * Background in industrial or capital project software infrastructure environments
 * Experience with FinOps tooling and cost-per-tenant attribution in cloud environments

## Description

The OUX Infra Engineer owns the infrastructure foundation that the Octave Unified Experience (OUX) platform runs on. This role is responsible for designing, deploying, and operating the Kubernetes-based infrastructure, database layer, Microsoft Fabric integration points, and the Refold MCP service that together enable Platform Studio and all OUX shell applications to function reliably at scale, across multi-tenant customer environments. This is a platform infrastructure role with a product engineering sensibility - the infrastructure you build directly determines what developers and customers can do on the platform.

 * Design, deploy, and operate the Kubernetes infrastructure underpinning the OUX platform - cluster configuration, namespace strategy, resource management, autoscaling, and multi-tenancy isolation
 * Own the PostgreSQL database layer for the OUX platform - schema design, provisioning, backup and recovery, performance tuning, and migration strategy for the ontology tool and Platform Studio backend services
 * Build and maintain the Microsoft Fabric integration infrastructure - service principal configuration, workspace provisioning, lakehouse connectivity, and Fabric API authentication patterns for the platform's data pipeline triggers
 * Deploy and operate Refold as the platform's MCP tool configuration service - maintaining the Refold API surface, its integration with the agentic framework, and the infrastructure reliability guarantees the MCP Designer tool depends on
 * Design and implement the tenant provisioning infrastructure - automated onboarding of new customer tenants, namespace isolation, credential management, and per-tenant resource quotas
 * Own infrastructure security posture: network policies, secrets management (Azure Key Vault), certificate lifecycle, and the ingress/reverse proxy layer
 * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure-as-code (Bicep, Terraform, or Helm) and application deployment across environments
 * Instrument the infrastructure layer with observability tooling - metrics, logs, distributed tracing, and cost-per-tenant dashboards feeding the platform's commercial reporting
 * Collaborate with the OUX UI Engineer on security architecture - AuthN/AuthZ integration (Ory, Azure AD), CORS policy, and penetration testing remediation
