Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Platform Architect with deep expertise in networking, storage, and Kubernetes to design and implement a cloud platform at scale, similar to AWS/GCP/Azure. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in infrastructure automation, distributed systems, and large-scale platform engineering, with the ability to architect and lead the development of multi-tenant, high-performance cloud services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Cloud Platform Architecture
    • Design and implement a scalable cloud platform covering compute, storage, and networking layers.
    • Define architecture for multi-cluster Kubernetes environments, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.
    • Build core services such as identity & access management, service discovery, observability, and API gateways.
  • Networking
    • Architect multi-tenant networking for VPC/VNet equivalents, load balancers, firewalls, and service meshes.
    • Implement SDN solutions (Calico, Cilium, OVN, etc.) and network policy enforcement at scale.
    • Optimize inter-cluster and inter-datacenter connectivity.
  • Storage
    • Design and manage distributed storage solutions (Ceph, Rook, OpenEBS, MinIO, Lustre).
    • Architect persistent storage for Kubernetes (CSI drivers, snapshots, backup/restore).
    • Ensure data availability, durability, and compliance with SLAs.
  • Kubernetes & Orchestration
    • Design multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms with advanced scheduling, security, and RBAC.
    • Automate provisioning, scaling, and upgrades using operators, Helm, and GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux).
    • Integrate with monitoring/logging (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK).
  • Automation & Infrastructure-as-Code
    • Implement full stack automation with Terraform, Ansible, or Pulumi.
    • Drive CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application delivery.
    • Build self-service capabilities for internal teams.
  • Security & Compliance
    • Design security at all layers (network, storage, workloads).
    • Implement secrets management (Vault, External Secrets, KMS).
    • Ensure compliance with data governance and regulatory requirements.
  • Leadership
    • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define roadmap and priorities.
    • Mentor and guide platform engineers and DevOps teams.
    • Evaluate new technologies and contribute to open-source where applicable.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Networking: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, load balancing, DNS, SDN (Calico, Cilium, Istio/Linkerd).
  • Storage: Hands-on with distributed storage (Ceph, MinIO, Gluster, Rook) and Kubernetes storage orchestration (CSI).
  • Kubernetes: 5+ years experience, expert in multi-cluster deployments, operators, controllers, service mesh.
  • Cloud & Infra: Strong background in virtualization (KVM, VMware, OpenStack) and bare-metal automation (MAAS, Ironic, PXE, IPMI/Redfish).
  • IaC & Automation: Proficiency in Terraform, Ansible, GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux).
  • CI/CD: Experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD.
  • Programming/Scripting: Proficiency in Go, Python, or Bash.
  • Monitoring/Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, Jaeger.
  • Strong knowledge of distributed systems, high availability, and fault tolerance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing cloud platforms at scale (e.g., internal private cloud, hyperscaler background).
  • Contributions to open-source Kubernetes ecosystem (CNCF projects).
  • Familiarity with service billing, quota management, and multi-tenancy at scale.
  • Exposure to bare-metal cloud orchestration (Metal3, Tinkerbell, Equinix Metal, Ironic).
  • Strong leadership and architectural decision-making skills.
