Job description

Overview

Senior Software Engineer in Platform Engineering within Product Development & Operations, helping build and evolve the Kubernetes-native, multi-tenant cloud platform (GWCP/Atmos) that underpins hundreds of services and AI-powered capabilities.

What you'll do

  • Own things end-to-end: design the solution, ship it to production, and keep it running.
  • Build core platform components that hundreds of services depend on.
  • Design for elegance under complexity in workflows, automation and developer tooling.
  • Collaborate across teams on technical designs, including RFCs and design docs.
  • Contribute upstream to open-source tools by fixing them and sending PRs rather than forking.

What you'll need

  • 8+ years building and operating systems in SaaS/PaaS environments at enterprise scale.
  • Deep Kubernetes expertise, including schedulers, controllers, CRDs, networking and the broader ecosystem.
  • Strong cloud fundamentals (AWS preferred, Azure/GCP also welcome).
  • Proficiency in Go, Java, or Python with hands-on backend service development.
  • Solid distributed systems intuition, including failure modes, consistency trade-offs and traffic spikes.
  • Container-native mindset with Docker and related tooling.

Nice to have

  • Battle-tested Terraform or CloudFormation experience.
  • Comfort writing shell scripts where appropriate.
  • Polyglot approach, choosing languages based on the problem and articulating trade-offs.
  • Practice of TDD and pair programming.
  • Opinions on platforms such as Mesos, Cloud Foundry, OpenShift, or serverless architectures.

Details

  • Location: Bangalore, India.
