You will take a pivotal role in defining and driving the foundational infrastructure that powers the entire security group. You’ll be responsible for owning and evolving our Kubernetes-based infrastructure, driving group-wide scalability, reliability, and developer productivity. This is a strategic, high-impact role that operates across multiple teams and products.
Your responsibilities will include:
Own the architecture, availability, security, and lifecycle of our Kubernetes clusters across environments. Drive best practices for cluster configuration, multi-tenancy, resource governance, and observability.

Proactively identify and remove bottlenecks in our infrastructure and development workflows. Lead initiatives to optimize cost, performance, and operational efficiency across the group.

Work closely with product security and operations to embed secure defaults, policy enforcement, and compliance automation into the platform layer.

Champion observability across services by standardizing logging, metrics, and tracing. Establish and enforce SLOs and playbooks that improve our incident response and service reliability posture.

Foster a culture of platform ownership, operational excellence, and continuous improvement. Mentor engineers across the group, and act as a force multiplier by sharing knowledge and driving reusable solutions.
