Staff Infrastructure Engineer
As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the Platform Engineering team to own the design, operation, and maturity of Kubernetes platforms and the service mesh ecosystem. You will manage over 100 Kubernetes clusters across AWS Cloud and Outposts while maturing the Kong Mesh environment to ensure secure, reliable service-to-service communication. Your daily responsibilities include setting infrastructure standards, building automation to reduce toil, leading incident responses, and mentoring engineers on distributed systems and cluster internals. To succeed, you must possess deep expertise in Kubernetes, Kong Mesh, Terraform, Helm, and Datadog. You will also utilize modern programming languages to build internal tooling and manage complex networking requirements like mTLS and zero-trust policies. This role solves critical reliability and performance challenges by establishing robust infrastructure patterns for large-scale distributed systems.
