DevOps Tech Lead

About the role

The company is moving its projects toward GCP and Kubernetes, modernizing a legacy architecture that no longer fits its scale. It is migrating on-premise workloads to GKE, strengthening security and business continuity, and moving toward platform self-service for developers, with every migration decision judged by whether it reduces the team's daily burden. This role leads the infrastructure platform that the rest of engineering depends on.
