INTL. Sr. Kubernetes AKS Platform Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to help build and scale our Azure Kubernetes (AKS) platform as part of a broader initiative to make our application ecosystem cloudagnostic. This role will partner closely with an existing senior platform engineer to design, build, secure, and operate Kubernetes clusters that can be deployed consistently across Azure, AWS, and future cloud environments.

Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and scripting to support:
Dev, Stage, and Production environments
Reusable and repeatable deployments using a single codebase
Implement security, networking, and firewall configurations based on enterprise architecture standards
Partner with platform and infrastructure engineers to:
Maintain and operate Kubernetes clusters
Support containerized application deployments
Implement observability and monitoring from day one, including logging, metrics, and alerting
Support long-term platform reliability, scalability, and operational excellence (SRE mindset)
Collaborate with global engineering, DevOps, security, and networking teams (primarily India-based).
