Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!

Why this role matters:

As a Platform Engineer, you are a force multiplier for our engineering teams. You don’t just manage servers; you build and maintain the cloud-native foundations that make shipping code at Vonage fast, safe, and easy. Your mission is to manage robust infrastructure while eliminating developer friction through simple-to-use automation, ensuring our production APIs remain highly available, scalable, and cost-efficient.

Your key responsibilities:

• Infrastructure Management:

Take ownership of our cloud-native footprint. You will lead the design, provisioning, and maintenance of resilient infrastructure, ensuring our environments are stable and meet high-availability requirements.

• Build Self-Service Tools:

Help build and evolve our internal developer platform. You’ll use Go (predominantly) to create workflows that automate repetitive tasks—like infrastructure provisioning, restarting deployments, or managing service health.

• Kubernetes Operations:

Act as a key technical resource for our large-scale Kubernetes clusters. You’ll dive deep into the stack to troubleshoot complex networking or performance bottlenecks that others can't solve.

• Automate Guardrails:

Use Kyverno to bake security and best practices directly into the cluster. You’ll ensure that as we scale, our clusters stay compliant and healthy without slowing down development.

• Streamline Delivery:

Own the "path to production" by optimizing our GitHub Actions and ArgoCD pipelines, ensuring global teams can deploy code safely through Git Ops.

What you'll bring

• Experience:

5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles with a heavy focus on cloud-native architecture.

• Kubernetes Knowledge:

Practical experience managing and troubleshooting production EKS or GKE clusters. You should be comfortable "under the hood" of a cluster.

• Programming Skills:

Strong proficiency in Go(preferred) or Python. We are looking for someone who can build tools, APIs, or custom controllers to automate complex logic.

• CI/CD & Git Ops:

Hands-on experience with ArgoCD and GitHub Actions (specifically creating reusable workflows and custom actions).

• Policy & Config:

Experience using Helm for packaging and Kyverno (or OPA) for policy enforcement.

• Infrastructure as Code:

Mastery of Terraform, with an interest in moving toward Kubernetes-native management (like Crossplane).

• System Reliability:

A deep commitment to infrastructure stability and the ability to manage complex cloud environments at scale.

• The Troubleshooting Mindset:

You enjoy solving "hard" problems and can navigate complex distributed systems to find root causes.

• Observability:

Experience using tools like Prometheus or Grafana to monitor system health and performance.

• Efficiency:

A "Fin Ops" mindset - you care about right-sizing resources so we aren't over-provisioning or wasting budget.

How you’ll benefit:

• Attractive Discretionary Time Off
• Private Medical Insurance with optional dependent coverage
• Educational Assistance Reimbursement Program
• Opportunities for reimbursement for conferences, trainings, and other personal development events
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
• Ask recruiter for country specific information
• Additional benefits and perks will be shared and discussed with you by the recruiter during the interview process

There’s no perfect candidate. You don't need all the preferred qualifications to make a valuable impact on our team. Our employees and customers come from diverse backgrounds, so if you're passionate about what you could achieve at Vonage, we'd love to hear from you.
