Job DescriptionThis position may be filled at multiple levels depending on the candidate's experience and qualifications.We are building a modern, software‑defined infrastructure platform designed to support the next generation of applications across the organization.This platform is designed around open‑source technologies, commodity hardware, and automation‑first principles. It provides the core compute, storage, networking, and container runtime capabilities required to run distributed systems at scale across both data centers and cloud environments.This is a greenfield engineering effort focused on defining how infrastructure is built and operated using code, APIs, and declarative systems, with reliability, observability, and repeatability designed in from the start.Our Approach EmphasizesLinux‑first systems designKubernetes as a core abstraction layerInfrastructure‑as‑code and GitOps workflowsOpen observability standards (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry)Distributed, software‑defined storage and networkingEngineers on this team build and own foundational systems that applications across the organization rely on for secure, reliable operation.Role OverviewThis role will be responsible for designing, building, and operating the foundational infrastructure that powers the company's technology platform. This includes compute, storage, networking, and container infrastructure supporting enterprise applications, internal platforms, and hybrid cloud environments.This role focuses on delivering reliable, scalable, and automated infrastructure platforms across data centers and cloud environments. Infrastructure engineers operate the foundational platforms that support modern workloads, including virtualization platforms, storage systems, networking, and container infrastructure such as Kubernetes clusters.Key ResponsibilitiesInfrastructure EngineeringDesign, deploy, and operate infrastructure platforms including compute, storage, networking, and container infrastructureBuild and maintain scalable infrastructure across on‑premises data centers and cloud environmentsOperate and support Kubernetes clusters and their underlying infrastructureEnsure high availability, reliability, and performance of infrastructure systemsSupport hybrid infrastructure environments and platform services that run on top of themAutomation & Infrastructure as CodeDevelop and maintain infrastructure automation using modern programming languages (Go, Python, Java)Implement infrastructure provisioning and configuration through infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as TerraformStandardize infrastructure deployment and lifecycle managementBuild tooling that improves operational efficiency and infrastructure reliabilityPlatform IntegrationSupport infrastructure dependencies for container platforms and distributed systemsDeploy, upgrade, and maintain Kubernetes clusters and related infrastructure componentsOperate infrastructure services including IaaS platforms and storage systemsCollaborate with platform engineering teams supporting CI/CD, messaging, observability, and developer platformsObservability & ReliabilityImplement monitoring and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetryParticipate in incident response and root cause analysisContribute to reliability improvements and operational maturitySecurity & Access ManagementImplement infrastructure security best practicesSupport identity and access management and secrets management systemsCollaborate with security teams to ensure infrastructure resilience and complianceQualificationsBachelor's degree in management information systems (MIS), computer science, or related technical field; or equivalent work experience.
