Accountabilities:
Design and own the Infrastructure-as-Code foundation that enables dedicated single-tenant and on-premises deployments with minimal customer-specific effort.
Build, operate, and continuously improve containerized infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, and K3s for smaller customer environments.
Manage core platform components, including ingress, load balancing, CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, certificates, and observability systems.
Define and improve deployment workflows, environment promotion strategies, release automation, and rollback procedures to ensure reliable and repeatable operations.
Partner with security teams to implement encryption, network isolation, access controls, and security hardening aligned with industry best practices.
Design and optimize GPU and inference infrastructure to support growing AI workloads while maintaining cost efficiency.
Establish operational practices including on-call processes, service-level objectives (SLOs), incident response procedures, and capacity planning.
Create and maintain technical documentation, deployment architecture materials, and operational procedures to support customer reviews and audit readiness.
Drive platform reliability improvements by monitoring performance, improving automation, and reducing operational complexity.
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, security, data, AI/ML, and customer-facing teams to ensure successful production deployments.
Requirements:
8–12+ years of experience building and operating production infrastructure, including at least 2 years leading or defining direction for a platform or infrastructure function.
Proven experience deploying and operating software in customer-controlled, on-premises, or highly regulated environments.
Deep hands-on expertise with Docker and Kubernetes in production environments, including deployments, networking, storage, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
Strong understanding of Linux systems, networking fundamentals, infrastructure automation, and configuration management practices.
Extensive experience with Infrastructure-as-Code principles, including modules, state management, idempotency, and reproducible infrastructure.
Demonstrated ability to build secure, reliable, and automated infrastructure solutions rather than manually managed environments.
Experience with technologies such as Kubernetes, K3s, Helm, Terraform, Packer, Ansible, CI/CD platforms, Vault, SOPS, PKI/mTLS, networking tools, object storage, and observability platforms.
Strong knowledge of on-premises and bare-metal infrastructure; cloud experience, particularly AWS, is beneficial.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience working in financial services, banking, healthcare, government, or other regulated technology environments is strongly preferred.
Experience with Kubernetes network policies, namespace isolation, multi-environment rollouts, GPU scheduling, or AI workload optimization is a plus.
Benefits:
Full-time remote opportunity based in the United States.
Opportunity to lead platform infrastructure strategy within a growing technology environment.
Work on complex deployment challenges involving security, automation, and large-scale infrastructure.
Collaborative environment with engineering, security, AI/ML, and client-focused teams.
Opportunity to influence architecture, operational practices, and long-term platform scalability.
Exposure to innovative solutions supporting regulated financial institutions.
Up to 20% travel may be required.
Competitive compensation and benefits package.
