Platform Lead (DevOps / Infrastructure)

Job Description

REQUIREMENTS

• 7+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles
• Team leadership experience — formally or informally leading a small infrastructure/platform team (mentoring, 1:1s, technical direction)
• Strong cloud infrastructure expertise — compute, networking, identity management, queuing, monitoring, storage (we use AWS primarily)
• Container orchestration in production — cluster operations, package management, debugging, resource management (we use Kubernetes)
• Infrastructure-as-Code at scale — writing, reviewing, and managing IaC with proper state management and modularization (we use Terraform)
• CI/CD pipeline design — deployment automation, testing integration, and deployment strategies (blue-green, canary)
• Linux systems administration — comfortable debugging at the OS level
• Monitoring and observability — setting up alerting, dashboards, log aggregation, and incident response
• Security mindset — experience with access control best practices, network security, secrets management
• Strong communication — able to explain infrastructure decisions to non-infra engineers, present technical strategies to leadership, and mentor effectively
• Reliable internet and hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)
  

Nice-to-Have

• Multi-cloud experience (GCP, Firebase, or similar alongside AWS)
• GitOps deployment experience (e.g. ArgoCD or similar)
• Event streaming operations and tuning (e.g. Kafka)
• Compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2, or similar
• Cost optimization — experience reducing cloud spend without sacrificing reliability
• Pen testing coordination or security audit experience
• Experience at a fintech or financial services company
• Experience with multi-region or multi-market infrastructure
• Previous experience growing a platform/infrastructure team (hiring, onboarding, defining team processes)

RESPONSIBILITES

Technical (70–80%)

• Own and operate cloud infrastructure — compute, networking, identity, and security controls — using Infrastructure-as-Code
• Manage container orchestration workloads, including cluster upgrades, deployment management, and autoscaling
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines — automated testing, deployment automation, and quality gates
• Drive observability — implement and improve monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing across all services
• Harden security posture — cloud security posture management, automated scanning in CI, access policies, network security, and contributing toward industry security certifications
• Manage multi-cloud infrastructure — we run workloads across multiple cloud providers
• Operate messaging infrastructure — event-driven architectures, including retry strategies and dead-letter queue management
• Standardize market launches — build repeatable infrastructure provisioning so new markets can go live in days, not weeks
• Participate in on-call rotation — respond to production incidents and drive root-cause analysis and prevention
  

Leadership (20–30%)

• Set technical direction for the Platform squad — define the infrastructure roadmap, make build-vs-buy decisions, and establish engineering standards
• Run weekly 1:1s with platform engineers — coach, unblock, and help them grow
• Own code review across the platform domain — ensure quality, share knowledge, and maintain consistency
• Keep platform velocity high — prioritize work, remove blockers, and ensure the team ships reliably
• Mentor and develop the team — create an environment where engineers do their best work
• Support the wider engineering team — be the go-to person for infrastructure questions, unblock developers, and create self-service tooling
• Collaborate with product and engineering leadership — translate business needs into infrastructure strategy
• Contribute to hiring — help interview and assess platform engineering candidates as the team grows
