About the Role:

We are seeking an exceptional

Kubernetes Architect

to lead the design, development, and deployment of our next-generation infrastructure platform. This is a

very senior-level

role for someone who not only understands Kubernetes deeply but can write complex manifests, operators, and controllers

from scratch , and architect resilient, secure, and performant systems that

scale to millions of users . As a technical visionary and hands-on expert, you will lead the evolution of our cloud-native architecture, including designing

serverless systems

on Kubernetes, integrating with CI/CD, and ensuring observability, security, and cost-efficiency across environments. Responsibilities:

Architect and implement

end-to-end Kubernetes infrastructure for large-scale, cloud-native applications.

Design and build

serverless platforms

on top of Kubernetes using technologies such as Knative, OpenFaaS, or KEDA.

Develop and maintain

Kubernetes custom resources (CRDs) , controllers, operators, and admission controllers in Go or Python.

Define

multi-tenant, multi-region

architecture supporting millions of users with high availability and low latency.

Lead Kubernetes

cluster lifecycle management

(provisioning, upgrades, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting).

Collaborate closely with engineering teams to

containerize applications , write Helm charts or Kustomize overlays, and standardize deployment practices.

Implement

infrastructure as code

using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane.

Lead efforts around

observability, policy enforcement, cost optimization, and RBAC/security hardening

within the cluster.

Evaluate and integrate Kubernetes ecosystem tools (e.g., Istio/Linkerd, ArgoCD, Flux, Prometheus, Grafana, OPA, etc.).

Mentor and upskill DevOps engineers and SREs in Kubernetes best practices.

Essential Skills & Qualifications:

8+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.

4+ years of

hands-on Kubernetes experience , including deep knowledge of the Kubernetes API, internals, networking, and storage.

Proficiency in writing Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and

custom Kubernetes controllers/operators

(preferably in Go).

Proven experience designing

cloud-native systems

that scale globally (multi-region, multi-cloud or hybrid setups).

Experience with

serverless technologies

(Knative, OpenFaaS, AWS Lambda, etc.) in a production environment.

Strong knowledge of

cloud platforms

such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Experience with GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux), service meshes, policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper), and CI/CD pipelines.

Deep understanding of

security, compliance, and resilience

in containerized workloads.

Additional/Preferred Qualifications:

Contributions to Kubernetes open-source projects or CNCF-related tooling.

Experience with service mesh design (Istio, Linkerd).

Familiarity with eBPF, Cilium, or network-level observability.

Background in building PaaS or developer platforms on top of Kubernetes.

What Success Looks Like:

A production-grade Kubernetes platform that can support

millions of users globally , with self-healing, autoscaling, and strong observability.

Developer teams can deploy serverless applications with ease, speed, and reliability.

Infrastructure is resilient, secure, cost-optimized, and compliant.

Kubernetes practices and tooling are well-documented, standardized, and continuously improved across the company.
