Qualifications
- If you are too, let's talk.
- including support for federal programs and FedRAMP environments
- Partner cross-functionally to design cloud-native solutions that can be effectively adapted for air-gapped, self-hosted environments like US Secret (SIPRNet) and US Top Secret (JWICS).
- Help architect and validate foundational Kubernetes and infrastructure designs within unclassified AWS GovCloud sandboxes.
- You will ensure these commercial-side designs translate seamlessly when tested against emulators that simulate the strict constraints of air-gapped networks.
- WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE ROLE
- Proven experience designing and operating Kubernetes and EKS at scale — cluster architecture, multi-tenancy patterns, networking (CNI, service mesh), security hardening, and day-2 operations
- Experience architecting infrastructure for AI and machine learning workloads — GPU compute, model serving, data pipeline infrastructure, and the security and access patterns that go with them
- Demonstrated experience making intentional cloud provider placement decisions — evaluating workloads against provider capabilities, cost profiles, compliance
- and existing organizational footprint rather than defaulting to a single cloud
- Strong cloud security background — IAM design, network segmentation, secrets management, policy-as-code, and experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, FedRAMP, or equivalent)
- Infrastructure-as-code fluency — Terraform, AWS CDK, or equivalent; experience building and maintaining reusable, modular IaC at enterprise scale
Responsibilities
- You will operate at a critical moment: Okt***'s AI platform is scaling rapidly, our cloud platform team is transforming, and the foundational decisions made now will define the trajectory of our infrastructure for years.
