- Automate & Refine: You’ll spend most of your day automating and improving how we run things in AWS and Kubernetes—basically making sure our microservices (and IoT systems) run smoothly, securely, and cost-effectively.
- Support & Collaborate: You’ll jump in with the dev teams, troubleshoot issues, and share best practices so everyone’s more productive—think of it as making the lives of your teammates easier through better tools and guidance.
- Strategize & Innovate: You’ll also have a seat at the table for bigger decisions—suggesting new tech, tweaking our pipelines, or finding ways to streamline processes, so we keep pushing the envelope on performance and reliability.
RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation
Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using Pulumi to automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of cloud resources.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and automate manual processes, streamlining operations and CI/CD pipelines.
2. Microservices CI/CD Pipeline
Design, build, and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for microservices.
Ensure best practices for testing, observability, and security are baked into the pipeline workflows.
Identify and implement optimizations to reduce build, test, and deployment times, increasing reliability and quality.
3. Service Mesh & Network Management
Lead the deployment and maintenance of Istio to enable efficient traffic management, observability, and security across microservices.
Oversee the lifecycle management of Istio and related service mesh components, ensuring minimal downtime and seamless upgrades.
4. Cloud & IoT Integrations
Architect and manage AWS services (e.g., EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, IoT Core) for scalable and cost-effective solutions.
Collaborate with IoT-focused teams to design and implement secure and robust data ingestion, storage, and processing pipelines.
5. Developer Tooling & Enablement
Own the developer experience by providing and maintaining internal tools, environments, and frameworks that boost productivity and quality.
Work closely with software engineers to integrate best practices, guidelines, and tools that streamline development workflows.
6. Monitoring & Reliability
Implement observability solutions (logging, monitoring, alerting) for critical platform components using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or equivalent.
Define SLOs/SLAs and ensure the platform meets or exceeds reliability standards.
