About the role

Senior Platform Engineer specializing in Compute Migration to lead migration of AWS Lambda/ECS workloads to Kubernetes, driving platform modernization and event-driven serverless/containerized workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Define the technical roadmap, migration patterns, and reference architectures for moving Lambda functions and ECS services to self-managed or managed Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS.
  • Develop robust, scalable, and automated solutions for running event-driven, serverless-like workflows on Kubernetes, potentially utilizing technologies like KEDA or similar cloud-native tools.
  • Use Terraform/Terragrunt and Helm to build and manage underlying Kubernetes infrastructure, networking, and deployment tooling.
  • Partner with engineering teams to understand workload requirements, provide consultation on re-platforming best practices, and develop standardized tools (e.g., CI/CD pipelines) for migration and deployment.
  • Benchmark migrated services, optimize resource requests/limits, and implement advanced observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) to ensure parity or improvement in service SLOs.
  • Establish best practices, guardrails, and documentation for running event-based compute on Kubernetes for a smooth transition and sustainable operation post-migration.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in Platform, Infrastructure, or DevOps Engineering roles with significant time on large-scale compute migrations.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Kubernetes (design, deployment, operations, networking, security, and scaling).
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS compute services, particularly AWS Lambda and ECS/Fargate, and understanding of their operational models and scaling behaviors.
  • Proven experience migrating production workloads from traditional cloud compute (VMs, Lambdas, ECS) to Kubernetes.
  • Strong background in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), specifically Terraform.
  • Proficiency with containerization technologies (Docker) and modern CI/CD practices.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and technical leadership skills with ability to influence decisions across multiple teams.
