Platform Engineer - Cloud

We are looking for a Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate high-scale, secure, and highly available cloud platforms on AWS. The role will work closely with engineering teams to build the infrastructure, deployment, observability, and operational capabilities required to support applications processing millions of transactions with millisecond-level latency.

Responsibilities:

• Design and manage scalable, highly available AWS cloud infrastructure using AWS-native services.
• Build and operate containerized platforms using Docker and container orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes/EKS.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code using Terraform/CloudFormation/Ansible.
• Build robust observability and monitoring capabilities covering infrastructure, applications, logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and SLOs.
• Design platforms for high throughput, low latency, fault tolerance, and horizontal scalability.
• Monitor and optimize system performance across compute, networking, databases, containers, and application infrastructure.
• Implement automation for provisioning, deployments, configuration management, scaling, backup, and recovery.
• Implement appropriate security, IAM, networking, backup, disaster recovery, and compliance controls.
• Participate in architecture reviews, production troubleshooting, capacity planning, and technical documentation.

Requirements:

• Strong knowledge of Linux.
• 6-8 years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native production platforms, with strong AWS experience.
• Strong knowledge of AWS infrastructure, networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, load balancing, and security.
• Strong hands-on experience with Linux administration and troubleshooting.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes/container orchestration and containerized workloads.
• Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, logging, alerting, and performance engineering.
• Experience designing systems capable of handling millions of transactions with millisecond-level latency.
• Experience with Terraform or equivalent Infrastructure as Code tooling.
• Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, including performance and capacity optimization.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
