Senior Platform Engineer building secure, scalable Kubernetes platforms on AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Platform Engineer / DevOps focused on building production-grade internal developer platforms and secure, scalable Kubernetes foundations. I’ve built and scaled an Internal Developer Platform on AWS EKS using Terraform/Terragrunt, Helm, Argo CD, and Backstage.io to enable self-service provisioning for services, infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines.
Across finance and AI platforms, I’ve delivered multi-region, multi-account AWS infrastructure, GitOps workflows, and reusable platform abstractions that improved delivery speed, reliability, and operational consistency. I also design secure multi-tenant authentication/authorization with Okta and Keycloak, deliver GPU-enabled EKS clusters for AI workloads, and integrate Vertex AI with AWS EKS compute using secure, cross-cloud authentication.
