Job Description

You will lead the design and evolution of large-scale Kubernetes-based platforms, working at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and strategy.
This role goes beyond defining solutions — you will drive how platforms are built, scaled, and operated, partnering closely with engineering teams while influencing key technical decisions across domains.
You’ll play a central role in pushing forward a Kubernetes-first, cloud-native vision, ensuring systems meet the highest standards of resilience, scalability, and performance, while remaining pragmatic and production-ready.

  • Own and drive the architecture of Kubernetes-based platforms, from design to real-world production
  • Translate complex business and product needs into clear, scalable technical solutions (HLD/LLD)
  • Set direction and best practices across cloud-native, containerized environments
  • Act as a technical leader, influencing decisions and guiding engineering teams
  • Support teams on implementation, optimization, and troubleshooting in production
  • Continuously improve platform capabilities across CI/CD, observability, and security
  • Senior-level architect with strong experience designing and running cloud-native distributed systems at scale, with deep expertise in Kubernetes in production environments
  • Combines hands-on technical depth with strategic thinking, comfortable in complex environments where performance, reliability, and scalability are critical
  • Strong expertise in Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native architectures
  • Experience with distributed systems and microservices at scale
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD (ideally GitOps), Linux, networking, and security
  • Proven ability to influence technical decisions and lead through expertise
  • Exposure to telecom platforms, service mesh, observability tools, or infrastructure as code is a plus
