Platform Engineer

Key Focus of the Role

This is a platform/infrastructure role where candidates will build and manage enterprise-scale EKS (Kubernetes) clusters and provide them as a service to internal application teams.

Must-Have Skills (Critical)

• Strong hands-on experience in building and managing EKS clusters (not just using them)
• Experience with enterprise-scale environments (large clusters, multi-team usage)
• Deep knowledge of Kubernetes cluster architecture
• Solid AWS infrastructure experience (VPC, IAM, EBS/EFS, networking)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform)

Important Technical Areas

• EKS cluster provisioning & lifecycle
• Networking and storage in Kubernetes
• Security best practices (CIS, etc.)
• DevOps tools (e.g. ArgoCD) are nice-to-have but not essential

Key Profile Guidance (VERY IMPORTANT)

Avoid candidates who only:

• Use EKS/Kubernetes for application deployment
• Lack cluster build/ownership experience

Target candidates who:

• Have worked on Kubernetes/EKS as a platform (KaaS/PaaS)
• Have built and managed clusters end-to-end
