We are seeking a highly technical and hands-on Sr. Platform Engineer to help design and lead the implementation of private datacenter Infrastructure-as-a-Service capabilities.
This role is responsible for translating service architecture into working, automated, and consumable infrastructure services, starting with self-service networking and expanding into compute, storage, load balancing and adjacent platform capabilities.
The ideal candidate is deeply experienced in building real-world private cloud or platform engineering solutions, and is equally comfortable working across networking, virtualization, and automation domains.
This is not an architecture-only role — this is a hands-on builder role responsible for delivering the first generation of your internal infrastructure-as-a-service platform.
Responsibilities:
- Partner with the Infrastructure Architect, Infrastructure Leadership, and domains leads to implement the organization's private cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) strategy
- Drive the shift from ticket-based infrastructure fulfillment to controlled self-service and automated provisioning
- Translate target-state architecture into scalable, automated, and supportable infrastructure services
- Lead the design and implementation of self-service infrastructure capabilities, including with networking services and expanding to compute, storage, load balancing and adjacent platform services
- Partner with Infrastructure Architect and domain leads to build AIOps capabilities in Infrastructure CoE
- Design and implement self-service networking capabilities that allow product teams to provision approved network connectivity, security flows and IP whitelisting
- Build and maintain automation workflows, infrastructure templates, service blueprints, and orchestration processes that enable standardized service delivery
- Build reusable automation modules, templates, pipelines, and service blueprints for networking, compute, storage, and adjacent infrastructure services
- Develop integration patterns between virtualization, network, storage, security, and service management platforms
- Develop API-based integrations across infrastructure platforms, service management systems, orchestration tools, and approval workflows
- Establish Git-based development practices for infrastructure automation, including branching, code review, testing, release management, and rollback patterns
- Define and implement the technical components required to support a service catalog, onboarding model, and infrastructure consumption framework
- Evaluate existing infrastructure platforms and recommend improvements to enable automation, self-service, and platform scalability
- Help establish platform engineering practices, standards, and operating procedures to support Infrastructure-as-a-Service delivery
- Drive implementation of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Network as Code (NaC), and automated provisioning capabilities where appropriate
- Ensure infrastructure services are secure, auditable, resilient, and compliant with enterprise governance requirements
- Act as the aaS technical SME and hands-on contributor, providing implementation guidance, troubleshooting complex platform challenges, and removing technical roadblocks
- Document service architectures, automation workflows, operational procedures, and technical standards to support long-term sustainability and operational excellence
- Contribute to the roadmap for future capabilities including compute services, storage services, lifecycle automation, capacity management, and consumption-based service models
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Network engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent combination of education and experience
- 10+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, cloud engineering, Infrastructure DevOps, or infrastructure automation roles.
- Must have strong hands-on knowledge and experience of enterprise networking concepts, including routing, switching, segmentation, firewalls, load balancing, DNS, IPAM, and security policy enforcement
- Strong hands-on experience designing and building automation-driven infrastructure services in enterprise environments.
- Proven experience implementing private cloud, internal Infrastructure-as-a-Service, platform engineering, or self-service infrastructure capabilities.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code and automation frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Python, or equivalent tools.
- Experience building automated provisioning workflows for infrastructure services, including networking, compute, storage, or security services.
- Experience working with APIs and integrating infrastructure platforms, service management tools, orchestration platforms, and automation pipelines.
- Strong understanding of DevOps practices, including Git-based change control, CI/CD pipelines, code review, testing, and release management for infrastructure automation.
- Experience with Network as Code, network automation, or policy-driven network provisioning
- Strong hands-on experience with VMware vSphere or similar enterprise virtualization platforms
- Experience with enterprise storage platforms such as NetApp or equivalent storage technologies
- Ability to translate architecture, standards, and operational requirements into reliable, version-controlled, automated implementation patterns
- Experience operating in large-scale enterprise environments supporting multiple internal product teams, tenants, or business units
- Strong troubleshooting and systems integration skills across infrastructure, automation, networking, and platform services
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical implementation across multiple teams without direct management authority
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with architects, infrastructure engineers, security teams, operations teams, and technical leadership
