About The Position

Designs, develops, and implements enterprise platform software services that enable scalable, secure, and policy-enforced production operations across the software delivery lifecycle. Builds and maintains control plane components, event-driven automation systems, and policy-as-code enforcement engines that integrate self-service developer experiences, governance gates, and observability capabilities into a unified platform. Implements resilient, highly available architectures with fault-tolerance patterns that ensure platform reliability at enterprise scale. Applies modern software engineering practices including API-first design, micro services architecture, and CI/CD automation to deliver production-ready solutions aligned with organizational compliance, reliability, and operational excellence objectives. This is an in-office position requiring 5-days per week onsite.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
Minimum of 7 years of professional experience in infrastructure engineering.
Advanced knowledge of enterprise infrastructure technologies including cloud, network, database, storage, platform, computing, and middleware.
