Architect and manage cloud infrastructure to support business needs and growth. Optimize cloud resource utilization and ensure cost efficiency.

Event-Driven Architecture:

Implement and manage event-driven architectures using Kafka. Ensure robust data streaming and processing capabilities to support various business functions. Prototyping and Innovation: Develop prototypes and proof-of-concepts to validate new technologies and approaches. Lead technical exploration and experimentation to drive innovation within the platform. Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends to continuously improve platform capabilities. Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with product development teams to understand their requirements and deliver solutions that enhance their productivity and efficiency. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment and integration of platform services. Communicate technical initiatives and progress to stakeholders.

Continuous Improvement:

Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance platform reliability, performance, and scalability. Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to proactively identify and resolve issues.

What we are looking for:

Deep expertise in AWS and GCP cloud platforms. Strong knowledge of Kubernetes for container orchestration. Extensive experience with Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure as code. Experience with event-driven architecture and Kafka. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage and influence stakeholders at all levels. Ability to think strategically, provide practical solutions, and make sound decisions in complex and evolving product and customer journey environments. Strong leadership abilities, including the capacity to build and motivate teams, manage change, hold people to account and drive a culture of customer and product focus.
