- Lead infrastructure modernization efforts, including migration of legacy systems into a unified,



cloud-native AWS architecture
- Serve as the cloud stakeholder with a long-term view on performance, cost efficiency, security posture, and platform health
- Maintain PCI and SOC2 compliance across cloud environments; architect and own disaster recovery plans
- Act as the connective layer between CCI and other engineering teams — broadcasting team goals, surfacing dependencies, and enabling shared tooling reuse
- Participate in on-call rotation for high-urgency infrastructure incidents; leverage AI tooling to automate and accelerate engineering workflows

Must Have Criteria

- 10 years of devops/cloud infra infrastructure engineering experience, with 1–2 years managing cloud infrastructure, or SRE teams
- Hands-on , able to architect, troubleshoot, and review infrastructure directly
- Production-grade experience with AWS (EC2, EKS, Lambda, S3, VPC), Terraform, and Kubernetes/EKS at scale
- Working knowledge of Helm, containerization, Kafka, SQL databases, cloud networking, and Python scripting
- Demonstrated experience managing PCI DSS and SOC2 compliance requirements in cloud environments
- Track record of leading infrastructure modernization — integrating legacy systems into cloud-native architectures
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline

Nice to Have

- Experience with Atmos (Terraform component framework) in multi-account AWS environments
- Prior engineering leadership in high-growth, Series B–D startups or scale-ups
- Exposure to real-time data pipelines or event-driven architectures at high throughput

What We Offer

- Leadership role with direct impact on the company's core cloud platform — infrastructure that processes millions of vehicle transactions daily
- Opportunity to build and scale a high-performing India-based infrastructure team within a $4.1B-funded, Series D company
