In this role you will apply a software engineering mindset to infrastructure leveraging Agentic AI to automate complex workflows and building the Golden Paths that eliminate manual bottlenecks. You arent just managing clusters; you are architecting the software that manages them ensuring our systems are resilient cost-optimized and inherently self-healing.

  • AI-Driven Automation: Build Python-based AI agents and tools that reduce team toil and streamline common operational tasks.
  • Full-Lifecycle Ownership: Participate in on-call rotations and lead collective RootCause Analysis (RCA) turning every incident into a platform improvement or automated fix.
  • Mentorship & Standards: Contribute to team code reviews document best practices and help establish standard patterns for deployment and security.

What You Have:

  • Bachelors/Masters degree in computer science a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5 years of professional Software Development experience with a deep understanding of the full SDLC system design and clean code principles.
  • 7 years of experience in Platform Engineeringwith a focus on running large-scale production environments.
  • Proficiency in Python or Go for automation tool building and AI agent integration.
  • Experience managing Kubernetes (AKS) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Terragrunt) in a team-based environment.

Nice to Have:

  • Proven track record of building or contributing to an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) (e.g. Backstage internal CLI tools or custom portals).
  • Experience collaborating with application teams to define SLIs/SLOs and improve service reliability.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and lead team-wide technical initiatives.
  • Experience implementing GitOps (ArgoCD) and Policy-as-Code (Kyverno) to standardize team workflows.
  • Familiarity with building Agentic AI tools to automate repetitive operational tasks (toil).
  • Expertise in Datadog for observability dashboarding and incident response.

What We Offer:

The annual base salary range for this position is $115000 - $140000. Additionally this position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus based on performance.
