  • Manage multi-cluster and multi-region AKS deployments including version upgrades, patching, and cluster hardening.
  • Implement GitOps-based deployment models using ArgoCD and build CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.
  • Develop Infrastructure as Code solutions using Terraform for Azure resources and AKS provisioning.
  • Design and maintain platform observability frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace, and OpenTelemetry.
  • Implement secure AKS architectures including network policies, private clusters, and identity integration.
  • Lead complex troubleshooting across Kubernetes, Azure infrastructure, and network layers to drive reliability.
  • Drive cost optimization and capacity management for AKS and Azure resources using FinOps practices.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 10 years of experience in cloud engineering, platform engineering, or solution architecture roles.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Extensive experience with Kubernetes, containers, and distributed systems.
  • Strong expertise in Azure (AKS) with exposure to multi-cloud (AWS/GCP) and cloud-native architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with DevOps platform tooling including ArgoCD, Terraform, Azure DevOps, and scripting.
  • Operational experience with observability tools such as Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
  • Experience influencing or owning platform/product roadmaps in partnership with Product Management.
  • Financial Services industry experience (preferred).
