Software Development Engineer 4

What you’ll do

Own the cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes platform that hosts services end-to-end — provision, upgrade, and operate multi-cloud (AWS + Azure) clusters. Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code — Helm charts, ARM/CloudFormation templates, cloud-init, and Python automation for cluster creation, CNI, node scaling, machine health checks, and workload identity. Bake and harden machine images using Packer + Ansible for Linux and Windows, validate them with automated image tests (goss), and manage the container image supply chain. Run observability and alerting — Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk (OTel collectors, saved searches/alerts)Lead production support and on-call — triage incidents, perform RCA, remediate issues and manage node/pod health, capacity, and autoscaling. Design and operate CI/CD and release pipelines using Jenkins and deployment pipelines. Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot platform services — Spring Boot services, node agents, and containerised engine workloads — across Kubernetes and clouds. Optimize scalability, cost, and security — right-size clusters, tune autoscaling/workload placement, enforce network policies and admission control. Python/Shell scripting to develop and maintain platform code. Participate in code/infra reviews, cross-functional collaboration, and mentor junior engineers.
