Platform Engineer

Location: Hyderabad, Telangana — On-site

Experience: 3–6 Years

Employment Type: Full-time

Hyderabad-based mobility-tech startup building the technology infrastructure behind student transportation.

We operate a real-time transportation platform that brings together student tracking, routing, parent notifications, driver applications, operations dashboards, and cloud infrastructure to make student mobility safer, more reliable, and easier to manage.

As we scale, we’re looking for a Platform Engineer who can take ownership of the infrastructure and platform layer that powers these systems.

The Role

As a Platform Engineer, you will own the systems that enable our engineering teams to build, deploy, scale, monitor, and operate reliable production services.

This is an early-stage startup role with significant ownership. You will work closely with engineering and product teams to build infrastructure from the ground up, improve deployment velocity, strengthen reliability, and ensure our platform can scale with the business.

You should be comfortable moving between cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, security, and distributed systems.

What You'll Do

- Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS
- Own production infrastructure across EC2, IAM, RDS, networking, monitoring, and deployments
- Build and maintain Docker and Kubernetes environments for production workloads
- Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines for reliable and rapid deployments
- Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform
- Establish infrastructure standards for scalability, security, reliability, and cost efficiency
- Monitor production systems and proactively identify performance and reliability issues
- Build observability around applications and infrastructure, including metrics, logs, alerts, and incident monitoring




- Troubleshoot production issues and conduct root-cause analysis (RCA)
- Work with backend engineers to design infrastructure for Java/Kotlin-based distributed systems
- Support highly available services involving real-time tracking, routing, notifications, and operational workflows
- Improve deployment processes, release reliability, rollback strategies, and disaster recovery
- Identify infrastructure bottlenecks and continuously improve platform performance
- Help establish engineering practices around reliability, security, and operational excellence
- Work across the stack when required and take end-to-end ownership of infrastructure problems

What We're Looking For

Must Have

- 3–6 years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or a closely related role
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS
- Strong understanding of EC2, IAM, RDS, networking, monitoring, and production deployments
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
- Strong experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
- Strong Linux and networking fundamentals
- Experience troubleshooting production systems and performing RCA
- Understanding of distributed systems, scalability, availability, and system design
- Experience working with backend services built using Java/Kotlin or similar technologies
- Ability to independently own infrastructure problems from design → implementation → deployment → monitoring

Good to Have





- Experience with Redis, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB
- Experience with microservices architecture
- Experience with AWS security and IAM best practices
- Experience building observability and alerting systems
- Experience with multi-cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Experience working in an early-stage startup
- Experience with real-time systems, IoT, location services, or mobility platforms
- Open-source contributions or meaningful personal engineering projects

What Makes This Role Different

At ZeroMoblt, you won't be working within a large infrastructure team where responsibilities are narrowly defined.

You'll have the opportunity to:

- Own critical infrastructure decisions
- Build platform capabilities from 0 → 1
- Work directly with engineering and product teams
- Solve real-world scalability and reliability problems
- Influence architecture and engineering practices
- See your work directly impact a platform serving 10,000+ students
- Work in a fast-moving setting with minimal bureaucracy

We're looking for someone who enjoys ownership, ambiguity, and solving problems independently.

This role may not be the right fit if you prefer highly structured processes, narrowly defined responsibilities, or large-company environments with multiple layers of ownership.

Why ZeroMoblt?

- High ownership and autonomy
- Direct exposure to product and engineering decisions
- Opportunity to build infrastructure at an early-stage mobility startup
- Work on real-time transportation and location-based systems
- Hyderabad-based, on-site team

Skills:- Amazon Web Services (AWS), Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Microservices, Distributed Systems, AWS RDS, AWS IAM, Amazon EC2, PostgreSQL, Redis, Systems design, Scalability, Git and Infrastructure architecture
