Position Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical, systems-minded Senior Platform Engineer who specializes in building and operating enterprise-grade platform services outside the public cloud. Moving far beyond traditional point-and-click cloud consoles, you will take absolute technical ownership of bringing cloud-like scalable capabilities—such as distributed analytical computing, object storage, serverless execution, and queue architectures—directly into on-premise and hybrid bare-metal infrastructures. This senior engineering seat demands a self-directed infrastructure architect who brings robust GitOps automated discipline to physical data networks, managing high-volume data distributions and advanced cluster security models.

Key Responsibilities

• On-Premise Platform Architecture: Design, build, and optimize complex, highly resilient platform infrastructures across physical bare-metal and private hybrid-cloud networks.
• GitOps Pipeline Automation: Construct and maintain robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment pipelines leveraging Terraform, ArgoCD, and GitHub Actions to ensure auditable setups.
• Advanced Kubernetes Administration: Govern core bare-metal Kubernetes infrastructure layers, taking responsibility for multi-node cluster provisioning, advanced overlay networking, runtime policies, and security configurations.
• Big Data Ecosystem Management: Deploy and scale enterprise-grade big data infrastructure components on-premise, managing distributed frameworks like Hadoop or equivalent analytical clusters.
• Distributed Storage & Caching: Architect and run high-availability object storage systems via MinIO (S3-compatible formats) paired with distributed data caching grids like Redis or Memcached.
• Full-Stack Observability Engineering: Build and scale a unified monitoring, logging, and tracing fabric utilizing modern open-source toolsets: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Proven professional history running enterprise-scale platform engineering, system virtualization, or infrastructure automation portfolios within on-premise production environments.
• Demonstrated capability simulating public cloud paradigms (such as EMR data frames, S3 buckets, or serverless queues) on raw local infrastructure.
• Expert-level operational command over declarative automation tools, specifically including **Terraform state management and ArgoCD application lifecycles**.
• Advanced, production-tested capability running bare-metal **Kubernetes cluster administration**, handling networking components, node pooling, and access policies.
• Solid, foundational grounding in telemetry pipeline assembly, log stream aggregations, and dashboard creation using Prometheus and Grafana.
• Location Context: 100% remote-first full-time operational flexibility geofenced exclusively to qualified systems engineers permanently located within regional tech hubs: **Delhi, Hyderabad, Karachi, Lahore, Mumbai, or Bengaluru**.

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Hands-on system management experience configuring, backing up, and maintaining secure local artifact registries (such as **Sonatype Nexus**).
• Deep background running underlying hypervisor configurations, Linux kernel tuning, and low-level OS performance diagnostics.
• Proven expertise establishing disaster recovery protocols and point-in-time backup strategies for distributed big data stores.
• Familiarity with capacity planning forecasting, utilizing trend telemetry data to anticipate storage saturation and resource allocation needs.

What We Offer

• The exceptional engineering canvas to architect and operate mission-critical bare-metal platform footprints that bypass conventional public clouds.
• Highly competitive regional salary compensation tiers supplemented by impactful performance-based bonus structures.
• Stable remote-work flexibility providing an adaptable, outcome-driven work schedule.
• Direct flat-organization access to technical leadership with a transparent path to quickly expand your responsibilities and advance your career.
