What You'll Work On
Build the platform, not run it. You'll design and deliver multi-tenant Kubernetes infrastructure across bare-metal and public cloud, build infrastructure-as-code frameworks that push changes across thousands of servers, and write the standard libraries, SDKs, and platform APIs that every engineering team at Index Exchange depends on. This is the work that takes Index Cloud to the next level.
Solve hard distributed systems problems. Real-time bidding with sub-millisecond overhead. Multi-datacenter consistency. Deploying safely to a fleet of thousands. Load balancing at a scale where the easy approaches don't work. If the phrase "globally distributed auction system" makes you lean in, keep reading.
Own the architecture. You'll drive technical direction through RFCs and design reviews, set standards for shared platform domains, and make the calls on tooling, security posture, and system design. This is a Staff-level role—you'll influence engineering direction across multiple divisions.
Make engineers faster. Build golden paths, self-service tooling, and platform APIs that let engineering teams ship without friction. The best platform work is invisible to its users—it just works.
Mentor and raise the bar. Coach engineers, foster a culture of engineering excellence, and collaborate across Cloud Platform Operations, SRE, Network, Security, and Software Engineering teams.
Must Have
- 8+ years in platform engineering, SRE, infrastructure engineering, or DevOps.
- Deep experience with Linux internals: kernel tuning, network stack, system observability, security.
- Strong Kubernetes expertise: cluster lifecycle, networking, storage, RBAC, multi-cluster—across bare-metal and cloud (EKS, GKE).
- Infrastructure-as-code at scale: Terraform, Ansible, GitOps (ArgoCD or similar).
- Proficiency in Go, Python, or both—for building libraries, SDKs, and platform APIs, not just scripts.
- Solid networking fundamentals (L2-L7), load balancing, DNS, service discovery.
