Required

• 10+ years of overall engineering experience, including meaningful hands-on software development (Go, Python, or Java) and 7+ years building and operating cloud infrastructure at scale.
• Demonstrated track record operating as a technical leader across multiple teams - driving cross-team RFCs, architecture decisions, or platform strategy.
• Deep, hands-on experience designing and operating multi-account, multi-cluster Kubernetes platforms in production (EKS and/or GKE) at meaningful scale (dozens+ of services/clusters).
• Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane) and GitOps practices (Flux or Argo CD) applied at organizational scale.
• Deep experience designing and owning CI/CD systems supporting high release velocity and strong security guardrails (GitLab CI/CD preferred).
• Hands-on experience with service mesh (Istio) in multi-cluster environments, including security/traffic policy.
• Strong experience building and owning observability platforms (Prometheus, Datadog, Grafana, Loki/Mimir/Thanos) with a cost-aware lens.
• What You'll Bring
• Working knowledge of container/supply-chain security practices (image scanning, hardened base images, vulnerability remediation).
• Experience owning or meaningfully contributing to cloud cost governance/FinOps practice.
• Fluency with AI-assisted/agentic development tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent) and informed opinions on safe, effective rollout at organizational scale.
• Solid understanding of SLIs/SLOs, alerting strategy, and incident response, with experience leading (not just participating in) blameless postmortems.
