  • Automate provisioning, configuration, deployment, upgrades, rollback, backup, recovery, and operational workflows through version-controlled delivery pipelines.
  • Build documented, automated, self-service identity capabilities for product engineering teams.
  • Deploy and operate containerized application services on Kubernetes in production.
  • Own platform capabilities through production, including observability, performance testing, incident diagnosis, and prevention of recurring failures.
  • Provide technical leadership through architecture decisions, code reviews, engineering standards, and support for other engineers.

Requirements

  • Substantial hands-on experience building and operating platforms or shared infrastructure for software engineering teams.
  • Strong coding and scripting skills applied to infrastructure, automation, deployment tooling, integrations, or services, with experience maintaining code, reviewing changes, and using automated tests.
  • Experience automating provisioning, configuration, deployment, and operational tasks through version-controlled, repeatable workflows.
  • Production experience with Kubernetes and containers in an environment delivering and operating software applications.
  • Practical experience with a major public cloud platform, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and GitOps.
  • Experience building reusable platform capabilities or self-service workflows that reduce manual intervention.

  • Practical experience implementing authentication and access control in applications, APIs, or shared platform services.
  • Working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, token-based authentication, secure validation, permission models, least privilege, tenant isolation, and trust boundaries.
  • Ability to translate security requirements into working software, automated tests, and maintainable platform capabilities.
  • Experience with access-control models including role-based, attribute-based, and relationship-based authorization.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, reliability practices, observability, performance testing, safe rollouts, rollback, backup, and recovery.
  • Experience with Curity, Keycloak, SpiceDB, enterprise federation, SAML, policy-as-code, or distributed multi-tenant identity systems is preferred.
  • Experience with Go, PostgreSQL, Kafka, or Redpanda in production is preferred.
  • Demonstrable hands-on experience designing, building, and shipping production AI applications is required; experience limited to AI-assisted development tools is insufficient.
