Cloud Platform Engineer

About the role

As a Cloud Platform Engineer at CSIT you will research, explore and adopt modern cloud technologies to evolve on‑premise platform services. You will join the Runtime Platform team, delivering secure, reliable and scalable services that abstract infrastructure complexity for software engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Design and build self‑service platform components such as Message Queue and Observability services.
• Automate lifecycle operations (provisioning, scaling) using Infrastructure‑as‑Code and GitOps workflows.
• Implement observability and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana or Elastic Observability to meet SLOs.
• Collaborate with security teams to enforce security controls and compliance.
• Work with application teams to improve platform usability, streamline onboarding and reduce operational toil.
• Respond to incidents, conduct post‑incident reviews and drive continuous improvement.
• Foster a reliability engineering culture and shared responsibility for system availability.
• Define platform service requirements together with cross‑functional teams.

Required profile

• Background in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
• Strong programming or scripting experience (e.g., HCL, YAML, JavaScript, Python, Bash).
• Good understanding of Linux systems, containers, networking fundamentals and distributed system operations.
• 1‑3 years of hands‑on experience operating cloud services in production.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible, Helm).
• Experience implementing observability and monitoring for large‑scale platforms.
