You will define scalable Azure platform patterns, implement and operate critical AKS and cloud capabilities, and resolve complex problems that cross infrastructure, application, security and delivery domains.\nYou will influence multiple teams through practical engineering, clear standards, technical guidance and mentoring, while remaining closely connected to implementation and production operations.\nYour impact\nShape the architecture, engineering patterns and operational readiness of major Azure, AKS and automation initiatives used by multiple teams.\nProvide hands-on technical leadership for complex implementation and production challenges that span infrastructure, application, security and delivery domains.\nRaise engineering quality through reusable standards, deep technical reviews, mentoring and clear guidance that teams can apply independently.\nWhat you will do\nProvide architecture and technical oversight for major Azure environments and platform initiatives supporting Kubernetes and web application deployment.\nDesign, implement and maintain Azure platform capabilities such as AKS, Container Registry, Key Vault, managed identities, service principals, app registrations and appropriate PaaS services.\nAct as a principal hands-on engineer for complex implementation, configuration, automation, lifecycle and operational work across Azure cloud services.\nDefine and evolve Kubernetes and AKS patterns for cluster deployment, workload configuration, maintenance, scaling, resilience, recovery and operational readiness.\nEstablish reusable Terraform patterns and modules that create secure, repeatable and supportable cloud environments.\nShape CI/CD, GitOps and release-management patterns using Azure DevOps and related automation, including testing, evidence, approval and rollback controls.\nSet technical standards for container images, runtime configuration, platform lifecycle and application-hosting integration across multiple teams.\nLead design discussions with cloud, application, security, networking and infrastructure teams and turn competing concerns into clear technical direction.\nResolve complex issues spanning cloud resources, Kubernetes, networking, DNS, identity, secrets, pipelines, storage and application deployment.\nEvaluate Azure PaaS and platform-service options and recommend choices that improve scalability, reliability, maintainability and operational efficiency.\nDefine observability, alerting, operational reporting, runbook and production-readiness expectations for major platform capabilities.\nEnsure consequential production changes are tested, documented and aligned with security, compliance, change and recovery requirements.\nAnticipate technical risk, remove complex implementation blockers and escalate unresolved business or enterprise-architecture decisions in time to protect delivery and stability.\nMentor engineers and raise the engineering bar through architecture guidance, deep reviews, troubleshooting leadership and durable documentation.\nWhat you will bring\nBroad, progressive experience in platform engineering, cloud operations, infrastructure, DevOps, systems engineering or a related field, gained through employment or equivalent practical work.\nExtensive hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure services and public-cloud operating models.\nStrong AKS and Kubernetes depth across architecture, deployment, workload operation, maintenance, scaling, resilience and troubleshooting.\nAdvanced container-platform knowledge, including image management, runtime configuration, lifecycle activity and production support.\nStrong Terraform and infrastructure-as-code capability, including reusable patterns, secure lifecycle management and governance through code.\nExperience designing and improving CI/CD practices in Azure DevOps or comparable platforms, including automated deployment and release orchestration.\nHands-on knowledge of cloud identity and secrets patterns, container registries and relevant Azure platform services.\nStrong fundamentals across networking, DNS, directory and identity services, compute, storage, firewalls and load balancing.\nAdvanced cross-domain troubleshooting skills and the ability to remain effective during high-impact production or delivery problems.\nAbility to produce clear standards, runbooks, diagrams and implementation guidance and to communicate architecture, status, risk and recommendations to varied audiences.\nA demonstrated ability to work independently, lead complex technical initiatives, mentor engineers and influence direction across teams.\nNice to have\nTypically 8-12 years of relevant experience in platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps or systems engineering.\nExperience supporting customer-facing SaaS, hosted or other business-critical production applications.\nDepth in monitoring, metrics, observability, alerting and operational-health reporting for cloud platforms.\nExperience with cloud security, governance, policy, cost management, reliability engineering or disaster recovery.\nExperience coordinating technical work and influencing decisions across organisational boundaries.\nHow you will work and lead\nProvide technical direction and architecture guidance across multiple teams and lead the most difficult implementation and operational decisions.\nMentor senior and developing engineers, create reusable guidance and strengthen design and troubleshooting practices across the group.\nInfluence application, security and infrastructure partners through evidence, technical credibility and clear communication.\nSet design decisions, technical patterns and implementation guardrails for major platform initiatives within agreed enterprise direction.\nExercise independent judgement across several technical domains and approve justified implementation exceptions within the initiative or platform area.\nMake recommendations that materially influence team roadmaps, production readiness and technical investment, supported by evidence and explicit trade-offs.\nBring organisation-wide architecture, major programme priorities and enterprise-risk decisions to the appropriate governance and leadership forums.\nWhat success looks like\nMajor platform initiatives are technically coherent, secure, operable and ready for production use.\nAzure and AKS patterns are reusable across teams and produce more consistent delivery, reliability and support outcomes.\nComplex cross-domain problems are resolved with durable fixes and clearer ownership or standards.\nTechnical risk is identified early enough to change a design or delivery approach before customer impact.\nEngineers and partner teams make better decisions because architecture guidance and platform documentation are clear and credible.\nThe role remains visibly hands-on while its influence extends beyond any single service or team.\nAt our core, Trintechers stand committed to fostering a culture rooted in our core values - Humble, Empowered, Reliable, and Open. Together, these values guide our actions, define our identity, and inspire us to continuously strive for excellence in everything we do.\nAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or disability.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7468,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services","Accounting & Tax Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-06T10:05:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-08T05:49:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/trintech-principal-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/trintech-principal-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T03:16:26Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1744,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3256,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2212182},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2212182"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftrintech-principal-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftrintech-principal-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftrintech-principal-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/trintech-principal-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftrintech-principal-platform-engineer"}]}
