As a Cloud Platform Engineer at CSIT, you will research, explore and adopt modern cloud technologies to continuously evolve and modernize on-premise platform services.
You will join the Runtime Platform team - responsible for delivering secure, reliable, and scalable platform services that abstract away infrastructure complexity, to enable software engineers to deploy and operate cloud-native applications efficiently while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.
Our team operates a multi-tenanted platform services that has included many enhancements customized for our developers' unique use-cases to improve productivity. These include 3rd-party technologies as well as bespoke workflow enhancements
Responsibilities
- Design and build self-service platform, such as Message Queue service, Observability service, etc, that would enable developers to focus on coding, testing, and managing their cloud-native applications.
- Automate and simplify lifecycle operations, such as provisioning and scaling using Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps workflow.
- Implement observability and alerting systems for the platform services, using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Elastic Observability to meet service-level objectives (SLOs).
- Collaborate with security teams to integrate and enforce security controls and compliance requirements of the platform services.
- Work with application teams to improve platform usability, streamline onboarding, and reduce operational toil.
- Respond to incidents and perform post-incident reviews, driving continuous improvement and operational excellence.
