Responsibilities
Design & Deploy Multi-Cloud Services: Architect, implement, and manage platform services across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with a focus on PaaS components like object storage and database services. Ensure solutions are scalable, highly available, and cost-efficient while maintaining cross-cloud consistency
Infrastructure Automation: Develop and maintain automation scripts and frameworks using Python and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools for provisioning cloud resources., CloudFormation). Build CI/CD pipelines to provision and update cloud resources reliably and repeatably
API Design & Data Modeling: Design and maintain robust APIs and underlying data models that enable seamless integration of platform services for mass adoption and scalability. Develop well-documented API endpoints (e.g. RESTful services) to allow internal teams and customers to easily consume platform features. Define and optimize data schemas to ensure consistency, performance, and adaptability as platform requirements evolve
Agentic AI Implementation: Integrate AI-driven automation into cloud operations – for example, implementing agentic AI systems that can monitor environments, make decisions, and take action with minimal human intervention (e.g. auto-remediation bots, intelligent scaling). Leverage these autonomous agents to reduce manual effort and improve platform resilience
Cloud Architecture & Security: Design and review cloud architectures to ensure secure, robust, and compliant solutions across multiple cloud providers. Apply best-practice cloud architecture frameworks to meet security and governance requirements (e.g. identity and access management, network segmentation, data encryption)
Performance Optimization & Monitoring: Identify bottlenecks and implement optimizations (e.g. tuning databases or storage configurations) based on performance and reliability metrics. Utilize cloud monitoring tools and AIOps techniques to predict and prevent issues
Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with product engineering, core infrastructure, and security teams to understand requirements and integrate cloud services smoothly. Mentor junior engineers and share cloud best practices within the team. Coordinate with vendors and cloud provider support as needed to resolve complex issues
Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with emerging cloud technologies and services (including new PaaS offerings and AI tools). Evaluate and introduce new tools or practices (e.g. containerization, serverless, advanced analytics) that could enhance our managed platform. Drive continuous improvement in deployment processes, reliability engineering, and cost optimization
