your role

• Own and evolve ACCURE’s cloud infrastructure: Take responsibility for the design, operation, and evolution of our AWS- and Kubernetes-based platform to ensure reliability, scalability, and security at every layer.
• Kubernetes Administration: Manage and fine-tune Kubernetes clusters (preferably AWS EKS), Karpenter scaling, and Kubernetes operators. Drive operational excellence across containerised workloads.
• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code: Manage infrastructure lifecycle using IaC Tools (preferably Pulumi), promoting consistent, modular, and automated deployments.
• Drive GitOps workflows: Operate and evolve GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD, ensuring predictable and automated delivery processes.
• Develop and maintain backend services: Build and extend core backend applications and services in Python (preferably Django) with a focus on testing, maintainability, observability, and quality.
• Architect and design cloud systems: Shape and develop robust, event-driven, and API-based software architectures that meet performance and security standards.
• Enable monitoring and observability: Build and enhance monitoring, logging, and alerting pipelines using Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentbit, and Opensearch to improve observability.
• Collaborate strategically: Work cross-functionally with the Platform, Battery Analytics, and Customer Success teams to align on architectural evolution, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Hands-on ownership: Be an active contributor who enjoys diving into automation, debugging complex systems, and continuously improving reliability and performance.
