You will design Terraform modules across AWS, GCP, and Azure, build highly available Kubernetes clusters, implement networking solutions, collaborate with AI and software engineering teams, and implement observability best practices while participating in an on-call rotation. This role is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

What you’ll do

• Architect, build, and maintain next-generation internal developer platform, automating and streamlining cloud and on-prem infrastructure
• Design, write, and manage Terraform modules to provision and manage resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure, ensuring consistency and reproducibility
• Build and manage highly available, secure, and performant Kubernetes clusters that serve as the primary runtime for diverse AI workloads
• Design and implement robust networking solutions (VPCs, load balancers, firewalls, service meshes) that seamlessly connect multi-cloud and hybrid environments
• Collaborate with AI and software engineering teams to understand their needs, provide golden paths to production, and build internal tools that accelerate development cycles
