We bring together a global community of experts to deliver meaningful impact for our clients and the planet.\nThe Global Delivery Centre (GDC) in Gurugram is ERM’s global operating backbone. It delivers business enablement services in Finance, HR, IT, and Commercial Operations to ensure ERM’s global business runs seamlessly, efficiently, and consistently.\nAt the GDC, you will:\n· Be part of a hub that ensures ERM’s business continuity worldwide.\n· Collaborate with colleagues across geographies to support global operations.\n· Drive consistency, compliance, and efficiency in core functions.\n· Work with digital, automation, and AI-enabled tools to optimise how ERM operates.\n· Work in shifts where required, depending on the role. As processes mature and automation increases, reliance on shifts will reduce.Design, build, and operate shared cloud infrastructure platforms that multiple product and application teams depend on.\nThis role focuses on delivering secure, stable, and scalable AWS and Azure environments, container platforms (including Kubernetes), networking foundations, and reusable platform components that accelerate delivery across ERM.\nThe engineer ensures cloud operational excellence through monitoring, optimisation, and implementation of consistent engineering patterns that support cost efficiency and reliability.\nKey Accountabilities & Responsibilities\nCloud Infrastructure Engineering\nDesign, build, and operate shared cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure, including environments, VPCs/VNets, subnets, gateways, and networking services.\nImplement scalable compute foundations (e.g., Kubernetes clusters, serverless functions, container runtimes) used by multiple teams.\nSupport provisioning and lifecycle management of cloud resources through infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation).\nContainer Platforms & Runtime Operations\nDeploy, configure, and maintain Kubernetes clusters (EKS, AKS) to support application workloads.\nImplement workload deployment patterns, cluster upgrades, node scaling, and platform security controls.\nWork with application and DevOps teams to onboard services onto shared container platforms.\nSecurity, Stability & Operational Readiness\nImplement cloud security standards (IAM, RBAC, network security, encryption, secrets management).\nEnsure platform stability through health checks, diagnostics, patching, and high-availability configurations.\nContribute to incident response, root cause analysis, and proactive reliability improvements.\nMonitoring, Observability & Cost Efficiency\nImplement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions across cloud environments.\nTrack and optimise cloud consumption for cost efficiency using tagging, rightsizing, and automated remediation patterns.\nSupport operational visibility for application teams and ensure platform telemetry meets reliability needs.\nReusable Platform Patterns & Ways of Working\nBuild standardised infrastructure modules, templates, and deployment patterns for consistent usage across pods/projects.\nContribute to engineering standards for cloud environments, network design, container best practices, and operational guardrails.\nSupport onboarding, documentation, and knowledge sharing for teams consuming cloud/platform services.\nInfluence And Decision-Making Authority\nInfluence architectural decisions for cloud environments, container platforms, and shared infrastructure patterns.\nRecommend improvements to cloud security posture, cost efficiency, and operational reliability.\nShape reusable platform components, IaC modules, and standard delivery workflows adopted across engineering teams.\nProvide expert input into multi-cloud operating models and environment strategy.\nJob Requirements & Capabilities\nEducation & Experience\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.\n4+ years' experience in cloud/platform engineering roles.\nHands-on experience operating production systems in AWS and Azure.\nExperience designing, building, and maintaining cloud infrastructure for multi-team or enterprise environments.\nTechnical Skills\nStrong knowledge of AWS and Azure services across compute, storage, networking, IAM, and security.\nHands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS, AKS), including deployments, scaling, and platform operations.\nProficiency in IaC tools (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation) and environment automation.\nFamiliarity with CI/CD integration for environment provisioning and application deployment.\nExperience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (Clou\ndWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).\nUnderstanding of network design, VPNs, load balancers, DNS, private endpoints, and hybrid connectivity.\nBehavioural Skills\nStrong problem-solving ability and a reliability-focused engineering mindset.\nClear communicator able to collaborate with architects, developers, and DevOps/platform teams.\nQuality-minded approach to automation, documentation, and operational consistency.\nWillingness to learn and adapt as cloud standards and technologies evolve.\nDesirable / Nice to Have\nCertifications such as AWS Solutions Architect (Associate), Azure Administrator Associate, or equivalent.\nExperience with container security, image scanning, and runtime security tools.\nExposure to service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd) or advanced Kubernetes networking.\nExperience implementing multi-region or multi-cloud deployment patterns.\nFamiliarity with FinOps practices and cost governance frameworks.\nExperience in pod-based delivery teams or platform enablement roles.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5781,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy
