Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain core cloud-native platform services utilizing the Kubernetes control plane to enable rapid product development and high-scale deployment in a multi-tenant, distributed architecture.
• Develop robust microservices using Ruby, Java, or Go, using Kubernetes and data services like PostgreSQL and Redis across Azure and AWS clusters.
• Own the full development lifecycle including deployment, focusing on defining Kubernetes deployment strategies, ensuring comprehensive observability (Prometheus/Grafana), and implementing best practices for production reliability and critical issue resolution.
• Enhance and manage multi-cluster CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and automation, strictly adhering to GitOps principles (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux) for declarative configuration management across hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments.
• Foster team excellence through mentorship and rigorous code reviews, driving adoption of Kubernetes security policies, resource optimization, and overall cloud-native best practices.
