Platform Engineering Lead – Building Zoop’s Next-Gen Infrastructure
Location: Pune, India
Experience: 6+ years
Why this role exists
Zoop is entering its scale-up phase — where speed alone is not enough. We are looking for a Platform Engineering Lead who has already helped companies move from fast growth to
stable, secure, and cost-efficient scale, and can do the same for Zoop.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering velocity, security, reliability, and cost
discipline. You will help Zoop evolve from solid DevOps foundations into a mature
platform-led organization.
What success looks like
● Engineering teams ship faster with confidence and guardrails
● Cloud cost, security, and reliability are predictable, visible, and managed
● CI/CD is trusted, enforced, and production-ready
● Platform decisions reduce cognitive load instead of adding process
Scope & Expectations
● This is a hands-on leadership role (architecture + implementation)
● You will build, not just review
● You will own the platform roadmap, not just infrastructure tickets
● You will work as a force multiplier for product engineering teams—not a bottleneck
Key Responsibilities
Platform & Cloud Architecture
● Own Zoop’s platform and cloud architecture across GCP / AWS
● Design opinionated, reusable platform patterns instead of one-off infra
● Build and evolve Zoop’s Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with:
● Self-service environments
● Golden paths / paved roads
● Standardized templates and guardrails
● Lead Kubernetes and cloud-native adoption at scale
● Drive infrastructure automation using Terraform, Pulumi or similar IaC tools
CI/CD, Reliability & Dev Experience
● Establish strong CI/CD practices with quality gates and production readiness
● Drive adoption of testing, automation, and safer deployment practices
● Define and track golden signals, SLIs/SLOs, and incident response processes
● Reduce operational toil and improve developer productivity
● Make observability first citizen for an
