• Own end-to-end platform deployment automation using Terraform, Ansible, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code across hybrid cloud environments
• Design and implement disaster recovery, failover, high-availability architectures, and cloud migration strategies for customer deployments
• Build comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployment orchestration
• Implement monitoring, observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki), and alerting systems tailored for customer-managed AION instances
• Implement Kubernetes-based and custom orchestrator-based managed services with strict workload isolation and multi-tenancy
• Design container security, runtime protection, network policies, and secrets management for production workloads
• Own compliance implementation (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) and security best practices for customer environments
• Create deployment blueprints, reference architectures, self-service portals, and comprehensive documentation for customer success

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in platform deployment, DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles with focus on customer-facing deployments
• Deep expertise in Kubernetes including cluster design, multi-tenancy, custom resources, operators / controllers, and production operations
• Fundamental understanding of Linux processes and container internals, specifically regarding runtime optimizations like lazy loading (Nydus, eStargz) and snapshot checkpoint/restore mechanisms (CRIU) for fast migration and reduced cold-start times.
• Deep understanding of computer networking and the OSI model, with experience in creating overlay networks using VXLAN or BGP and implementing network isolation through CIDRs
• Strong understanding of hybrid and multi-cloud architectures combining on-premises, private, and public cloud resources, including VPCs, routing, network policies, and VPN tools like WireGuard
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, Nix, or CloudFormation across multiple cloud providers
• Experience building and maintaining GitOps pipelines for infrastructure and application deployments using GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD or FluxCD
• Knowledge of secrets management (External Secrets Operator, Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager) and encryption at rest/in transit
• Knowledge of observability stack including Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, distributed tracing (Jaeger, Tempo), and log aggregation
• Programming/scripting skills in Go or Python for building automation tools, operators, and deployment scripts
• Hands-on experience deploying complex platforms in customer VPCs and on-premises environments with strict isolation requirements
• Experience designing and executing cloud migration strategies including lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and cloud-native transformations
• Strong knowledge of security compliance frameworks (SOC2, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) and their implementation in cloud infrastructure
• Familiarity with disaster recovery strategies, backup solutions (Velero, Kasten), and business continuity planning
• Exposure to HPC systems, GPU orchestration, and AI workload patterns is highly desirable
