This role is for one of our clients

Company Name: Zoop

Industry: Technology, Information and Internet

Seniority level: Mid-Senior level

Min Experience: 6+ years

Location: Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad

JobType: full time

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 strong 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 any infrastructure using cost-efficient systems

Security, Privacy & Compliance

- Build security-by-default into infrastructure and pipelines

- Lead implementation and continuous readiness for:

- DPDP Act (India)

- ISO 27001:2022

- SOC 2 Type II

- Implement zero-trust principles, least-privilege access, and data isolation

FinOps & Optimization

- Make cloud cost transparent and accountable across teams
- Set up FinOps practices with budgets, alerts, and optimization routines
- Balance build vs buy decisions with clear ROI thinking

AI, Data & MLOps Foundations

- Enable secure and scalable ML/MLOps foundations
- Define guardrails for AI workloads and sensitive data handling

Leadership & Collaboration

- Work closely with engineering teams to align infra and product strategy




- Mentor engineers and guide teams through change
- Drive long-term initiatives while keeping execution practical

What we’re looking for

Experience

- 6-8+ years building and running production infrastructure

- Experience scaling platforms at high-growth or regulated companies

- Strong hands-on background with:

- Kubernetes & cloud-native ecosystem

- Service Mesh & Policy Engines

- GCP, AWS and Azure

- Terraform / Infrastructure as Code

Engineering & Operations

- Solid understanding of SDLC and CI/CD systems (Jenkins or Gitops)
- Experience with observability tools like Grafana, Prometheus, NewRelic
- Comfortable reading and contributing to systems in Go, Python, or Node.js

Security & Compliance

- Practical experience delivering ISO 27001 and SOC 2 controls
- Strong understanding of data protection, privacy, and access control

Mindset

- Bias for action with strong judgment
- Analytical, cost-aware, and reliability-focused
- Collaborative, calm under pressure, and open to feedback
- Comfortable saying “no” when necessary and explaining why

Nice to have

- Experience in fintech, identity, or regulated domains
- Built internal developer platforms or shared infra tooling
- Contributions to open-source projects

Why Zoop

- Real-world problems in identity, data, and regulation
- Opportunity to shape infrastructure foundations for the next phase of growth
- High ownership and visible impact
- Work with engineers who care deeply about quality, security, and scale
