Cloud & SecOps Engineer

ROLE OVERVIEW: We are looking for a highly skilled Cloud & SecOps Engineer to architect, automate, optimize, and secure cloud-native platforms across multiple cloud providers. The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, automation, and cost optimization with a strong engineering mindset focused on scalability, resilience, operational excellence, and security. This role is ideal for someone who treats cloud infrastructure as a product, continuously seeks efficiency gains, and understands that every architectural decision impacts reliability, developer productivity, and cloud spend. KEY RESPONSIBILTIES: Design, deploy, and manage production-grade infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP with cloud-agnostic operational strategies. Architect highly available, fault-tolerant, and disaster-resilient systems while leading cloud migration and modernization initiatives. Evaluate infrastructure architecture trade-offs balancing performance, reliability, scalability, and cost. Build, operate, and optimize large-scale Kubernetes platforms, including multi-cluster and multi-region deployments. Manage Kubernetes ecosystem tools such as Helm, ArgoCD/FluxCD, Service Meshes (Istio/Linkerd), Ingress Controllers, and Operators. Develop Internal Developer Platforms (IDP), self-service capabilities, and automation solutions to enhance developer productivity. Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation) and create reusable infrastructure modules and templates. Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployments, backup, recovery, and operational workflows to eliminate manual dependencies. Design and maintain enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines with GitOps practices and advanced deployment strategies (Blue-Green, Canary, Progressive Delivery, Automated Rollbacks). Drive FinOps initiatives including cloud cost governance, rightsizing, resource optimization, Reserved Instances/Savings Plans, storage lifecycle management, and cluster consolidation. Establish cost visibility, governance frameworks, budgets, dashboards, and cost-aware architectural practices to improve infrastructure efficiency. Implement and manage observability platforms using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and ELK/OpenSearch. Define and monitor SLIs, SLOs, and Error Budgets while leading incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvement initiatives. Implement DevSecOps practices, secure cloud and Kubernetes environments, and manage IAM, RBAC, secrets, network policies, and vulnerability remediation. Support security, compliance, and SecOps initiatives including container security, supply chain security, runtime threat detection, CSPM, incident response, and compliance standards such as SOC2, ISO27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. EXPERIENCE: 5+ years of SecOps, Platform Engineering, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure experience. 3+ years of hands-on Kubernetes production experience. Experience operating infrastructure across at least two major cloud providers. Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills. Experience supporting mission-critical production systems. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Kubernetes Certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS) AWS, Azure, or GCP Certifications Platform Engineering experience Multi-region architecture experience Edge computing experience Serverless architecture experience Security certifications (optional): CISSP, CCSP, Security+, AWS Security Specialty
