Cloud Platform Engineer (AWS / EKS / Terraform)

Team: Infrastructure · Reports to Head of Infrastructure

About the role
You will build and operate TookiTaki's cloud platform: AWS EKS clusters managed as code, GitOps-driven delivery with the Argo suite, operator-managed data services running on Kubernetes, and a Terraform-based self-service layer that lets application teams request infrastructure through reviewed YAML instead of tickets. The job is platform engineering, not click-ops — everything ships through version control, automated pipelines, and policy gates.

Requirements
Education
- Required: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- Preferred: Relevant certifications over a Master's — CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), HashiCorp Terraform Associate, AWS Solutions Architect Associate or higher.

Experience
- 3–5+ years in cloud, platform, or DevOps engineering.
- Proven track record running production Kubernetes on a managed cloud (EKS strongly preferred), including stateful workloads.




- Experience operating infrastructure entirely through Infrastructure as Code — no console-driven change management.

Technical expertise
- Kubernetes / EKS: cluster lifecycle and upgrades, autoscaling (Karpenter, KEDA, VPA), ingress and load balancing, IRSA/Pod Identity, core add-ons (cert-manager, external-dns, CoreDNS, node-local-dns).
- GitOps / Argo: ArgoCD for platform and application delivery (app-of-apps, Helm chart authoring, sync and rollback strategies), Argo Rollouts for progressive delivery, Argo Workflows/Events for automation.
- Databases and stateful services on Kubernetes: deploying and operating databases via Kubernetes operators — PostgreSQL and MySQL (Percona operators), ScyllaDB, Elasticsearch, Valkey/Redis, Kafka (Strimzi) — plus AWS RDS/Aurora where managed services fit better; backup/restore, upgrades, and capacity management for stateful workloads.
- Terraform: authoring reusa
