Platform Engineering & Automation · Stay hands-on with: o Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform o Kubernetes lifecycle management (provisioning, upgrades, scaling) o CI/CD and GitOps-based platform delivery (Helm, pipelines, automation) · Guide the development of reusable platform components, accelerators, and templates to improve delivery speed and consistency. · Review and approve designs for shared platform services (networking, identity, security, ingress, secrets). Global Delivery Leadership & Mentorship · Lead and mentor offshore and distributed global teams, ensuring: o Architectural consistency o High engineering standards o Clear ownership and accountability · Actively participate in code, design, and architecture reviews. · Bridge gaps between architecture, delivery, and operations, ensuring solutions are executable in real-world client environments. Practice Growth & Speed to Market · Drive solution incubation, from idea → reference architecture → implementation → market-ready offering. · Enable faster client onboarding through standardized patterns and pre-built assets. · Support pre-sales, solutioning, and technical validation when required, without losing hands-on depth. · Balance innovation with stability, ensuring platforms can scale operationally across multiple clients. Required Qualifications · 10–12+ years of experience in cloud architecture, platform engineering, SRE, or distributed systems. · Deep, hands-on expertise in AWS / GCP or hybrid with production-scale environments. · Proven Systems Design & Architecture and design knowledge in real-world enterprise environments. · Strong understanding of agentic platform concepts, architectures, and enterprise applicability. · Advanced knowledge of performance tuning and troubleshooting on Hybrid platforms. · Strong fundamentals in networking (VPCs, L3/L4, DNS, load balancing). · Sound knowledge with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) and cloud-native platforms. · Proficiency in Terraform and at least one programming/scripting language (Go, Python, Bash). · Demonstrated success working in highly collaborative, global delivery environments, including offshore teams. · Must have handled and worked with large Global team. · Ability to mentor, influence, and raise the technical bar across teams without formal authority. Certifications · Professional-level Cloud Solution Architect certification (AWS, Azure, or GCP) – required. · Observability platform (Dynatrace, Datadog etc.) certifications – preferred. · IaC Certifications like Terraform - Preferred Preferred / Nice-to-Have · Hands-on experience implementing agent-based or AI-enabled platforms. · Experience designing multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms. · Strong observability experience (metrics, logs, tracing) at scale and Enterprise tools like Dynatrace / Datadog.. · Experience building practice-level accelerators. · Open-source contributions or internal platform framework development. · Experience delivering solutions under aggressive timelines with enterprise constraints.
