Platform Infrastructure Engineer

Role Overview

• Design, build, and maintain Azure-based infrastructure, with a primary focus on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for reliability, scalability, and developer experience.
• Architect and operate infrastructure to support continuous availability — including zero-downtime deployments, automated rollouts, and the ability to scale capacity up and down in response to predictable demand peaks and quiet periods throughout the year.
• Own system reliability and maintenance practices, including patching, upgrades, and configuration management across environments, ensuring infrastructure remains healthy, current, and audit-ready.
• Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans — including documented runbooks, tested recovery procedures, rollback strategies, and data recovery protocols that can be executed confidently when needed.
• Develop and document reusable tools, networking patterns, and infrastructure templates for engineering teams to follow.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams when infrastructure changes are coming, or when working with them to understand what they need.
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions ensuring fast, reliable, and secure delivery of workflows.
• Manage infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, enabling repeatable and auditable provisioning across environments.
• Implement and maintain observability and monitoring solutions, including Grafana dashboards and alerting, to provide teams with clear visibility into system health.
• Manage identity and access using Microsoft Entra ID, applying least-privilege principles across services and teams.
• Approach all infrastructure work with a security-first mindset — proactively identifying risks, enforcing compliance patterns, and communicating deviations from standard operating procedures.
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders and adjacent teams on infrastructure changes, timelines, and dependencies.
• Contribute to the team's knowledge base by creating runbooks, architecture documentation, and onboarding guides.

Requirements

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with Azure infrastructure in a production environment.
• Deep experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) — cluster management, networking, scaling, gitops and day-2 operations.
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, including VNets, NSGs, private endpoints, DNS, and ingress/egress patterns.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code — Terraform preferred.
• Proficiency with CI/CD tooling, particularly GitHub Actions.
• Comfort working in a small, remote team with a high degree of autonomy and ownership.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to work cross-functionally, explain technical decisions clearly, and keep stakeholders informed.
• Security-conscious approach to infrastructure design and operations.
• Eastern or Central time zone required for team collaboration.
