Job Summary: We are looking for a strong Senior Platform Infrastructure SRE / Software Engineer to support the productionization and operation of large-scale Kubernetes-based platform services across multiple cloud environments. This role is best suited for someone with deep Kubernetes and infrastructure experience who can take capabilities developed by a platform engineering team and make them repeatable, scalable, observable, reliable, and production-ready across many environments.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Productionize Kubernetes-based platform services developed by platform engineering teams.
• Deploy and operate platform infrastructure across multiple cloud and production environments.
• Build repeatable environment provisioning and deployment automation.
• Develop reusable infrastructure templates, blueprints, and deployment patterns.
• Provision Kubernetes clusters, cloud infrastructure, networking, and service dependencies.
• Configure environment-specific infrastructure, connectivity, and platform services.
• Deploy, validate, upgrade, and maintain platform services throughout their lifecycle.
• Build monitoring, alerting, dashboards, logging, health checks, and operational controls.
• Establish and validate production-readiness standards for new platform capabilities.
• Troubleshoot complex failures across applications, Kubernetes, infrastructure, networking, and distributed systems.
• Work closely with platform developers to understand application behavior and identify operational gaps before production rollout.
• Implement and maintain Infrastructure as Code using technologies such as Crossplane, Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
• Build and maintain Helm-based Kubernetes packaging and deployment patterns.
• Design safe rollout, rollback, upgrade, recovery, and lifecycle-management processes.
• Validate platform capacity, availability, scalability, and reliability.
• Configure and troubleshoot DNS, load balancing, VPC networking, routing, service connectivity, security policies, and certificates.
• Improve operational automation and reduce manual environment-specific work.
• Document architecture, deployment patterns, operational procedures, and troubleshooting guidance.
• Participate in production support, incident response, and root-cause analysis as appropriate.
• Independently own technical work and drive complex problems through resolution with limited supervision.

Requirements and Qualifications:

• Deep experience with Crossplane for infrastructure provisioning and platform automation.
• Experience with Alibaba Cloud and its Kubernetes, networking, and infrastructure services.
• Experience with AWS EKS and/or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience designing or operating multi-cloud platforms.
• Experience with service mesh technologies and Kubernetes service networking.
• Experience with distributed data technologies such as Apache Spark, Apache Flink, or Trino.
• Experience implementing authentication, authorization, cloud security, and governance controls.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes-based platforms.
• Experience designing highly available and resilient platform architectures.
• Experience automating provisioning and lifecycle management across a large number of environments.
• Strong production SRE, incident response, reliability engineering, and operational automation experience.
