Job description

Overview

Platform Engineer role focused on building enterprise golden paths, reusable GitHub Actions, Terraform modules and automated DevSecOps governance so that secure software delivery becomes the default across product teams.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and version enterprise-grade shared GitHub Actions (Composite Actions and Reusable Workflows) and standardized delivery templates to create secure, automated "Golden Paths" across product teams.
  • Build and maintain secure, modular Terraform modules and IaC assets, versioned and documented for broad reuse and easy consumption.
  • Integrate SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM generation, and supply chain protections into default delivery workflows, shifting security left through automation and policy-as-code guardrails.
  • Create scalable, resilient CI/CD patterns aligned to enterprise standards, applying least privilege and reducing configuration risk to strengthen operational reliability.
  • Develop automation services and developer tooling in Python or Golang that enable self-service onboarding, secure defaults, and consistent quality checks.
  • Contribute to solutions spanning cloud, serverless, containerized, compute, and hybrid environments, producing reference architectures, diagrams, and implementation guidance that accelerate adoption.
  • Define and execute testing strategies for infrastructure code and automation (unit, integration, and environment validation) to ensure repeatable, high-quality delivery.
  • Partner with product and platform consumers to drive adoption, capture feedback, and iterate on patterns and assets to enhance developer experience and business value.
  • Apply AI tools and techniques where appropriate to improve development speed, quality, secure design, and innovation, sharing learning and elevating team practices.

What you'll need

  • Significant 6+ years of experience in platform engineering, cloud engineering, DevSecOps, or a related technical engineering discipline.
  • Hands-on experience authoring, testing, and maintaining centralized, reusable GitHub Actions (Composite Actions, Reusable Workflows) across an enterprise organization.
  • Understanding of Semantic Versioning for GitHub Actions (@v1, @v2), supply chain pinning, and securing pipeline-to-AWS authentication using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
  • Strong experience with AWS, including services related to compute, networking, security, and serverless architectures.
  • Advanced expertise in Terraform and reusable infrastructure-as-code design.
  • Strong scripting or software engineering capability in Python or Golang.
  • Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and controls, including SAST, DAST, SCA, SBOM, and software supply chain security.
  • Experience designing and implementing secure CI/CD pipelines within enterprise environments.
  • Solid grasp of security-by-design, the least privilege, and secure architecture principles.
  • Experience building scalable, reusable, modular platform solutions rather than one-off implementations.
  • Ability to create clear and effective user documentation and architecture artefacts.
  • Collaboration skills and ability to work optimally across engineering, security, and architecture teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

  • Relevant certifications in cloud, security, infrastructure, or DevOps/DevSecOps.
  • Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration technologies.
  • Exposure to hybrid or on-premises environments.
  • Familiarity with Azure cloud services.
  • Knowledge of modern application stacks such as Java, .NET, or React.
  • Experience applying AI tools to development, testing, secure design, or engineering productivity improvement.
  • Experience with infrastructure testing frameworks such as Terratest.

Details

  • Location: Chennai, India.
  • Work mode: in-person working, on average a minimum of three days per week from the office.
  • Closing date: 05-Nov-2026.
