Platform Infrastructure Engineer

Job Description:

- Design, build, and maintain Azure-based infrastructure, with a primary focus on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for reliability, scalability, and developer experience.
• - Architect and operate infrastructure to support continuous availability — including zero-downtime deployments, automated rollouts, and the ability to scale capacity up and down in response to predictable demand peaks and quiet periods throughout the year.
• - Own system reliability and maintenance practices, including patching, upgrades, and configuration management across environments, ensuring infrastructure remains healthy, current, and audit-ready.
• - Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans — including documented runbooks, tested recovery procedures, rollback strategies, and data recovery protocols that can be executed confidently when needed.
• - Develop and document reusable tools, networking patterns, and infrastructure templates for engineering teams to follow.
• - Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams when infrastructure changes are coming, or when working with them to understand what they need.
• - Own and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions ensuring fast, reliable, and secure delivery of workflows.
• - Manage infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, enabling repeatable and auditable provisioning across environments.
• - Implement and maintain observability and monitoring solutions, including Grafana dashboards and alerting, to provide teams with clear visibility into system health.
• - Manage identity and access using Microsoft Entra ID, applying least-privilege principles across services and teams.
• - Approach all infrastructure work with a security-first mindset — proactively identifying risks, enforcing compliance patterns, and communicating deviations from standard operating procedures.
• - Communicate clearly with stakeholders and adjacent teams on infrastructure changes, timelines, and dependencies.
• - Contribute to the team's knowledge base by creating runbooks, architecture documentation, and onboarding guides.

Requirements:

- 4+ years of hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure in a production environment.
• - Deep experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) — cluster management, networking, scaling, gitops and day-2 operations.
• - Strong understanding of cloud networking, including VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, DNS, and ingress/egress patterns.
• - Experience with infrastructure-as-code — Terraform preferred.
• - Proficiency with CI/CD tooling, particularly GitHub Actions.
• - Comfort working in a small, remote team with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
• - Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to work cross-functionally, explain technical decisions clearly, and keep stakeholders informed.
• - Security-conscious approach to infrastructure design and operations.
• - Eastern or Central time zone required for team collaboration.

Benefits:

- Unlimited Vacation Policy + Sick Time + Holidays
• - Paid Parental Leave
