Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. UFS Tech is a technology and services partner for community financial institutions, and they are seeking a Lead Platform Infrastructure Engineer to own the Navanta platform's deployment and operation. This role involves designing infrastructure, ensuring security compliance, and collaborating with various teams to maintain deployment efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Design and own the Infrastructure-as-Code baseline that enables dedicated single-tenant or on-premises deployment with minimal per-customer effort
- Stand up and operate Docker and Kubernetes (and K3s for small or in-bank installs), ingress, load balancing, and the CI/CD pipeline
- Build and maintain the secrets and certificate story and the observability stack
- Define environment promotion, release automation, and rollback procedures — making deployments boring and repeatable
- Partner with Security on encryption, network isolation, and exam-ready hardening aligned to regulatory guidance
- Right-size and operate GPU and inference infrastructure as the AI workload grows
- Establish on-call, SLOs, and capacity planning practices ahead of beta scale-up
- Document deployment architecture and operating procedures to support customer due diligence and audit readiness
Skills
- 8–12+ years building and operating production infrastructure, with 2+ years leading or setting direction for a platform or infrastructure function
- Demonstrated experience shipping and operating software in customer-managed or on-premises environments — deploying and operating inside environments you do not control
- Deep, hands-on Docker and Kubernetes in production (deployments, networking, storage, upgrades), plus strong Linux and networking fundamentals
- Fluency with IaC and configuration management as a discipline — modules, state, idempotency, and reproducible images
- A track record of making infrastructure reliable, secure, and automated rather than hand-tuned
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Strong familiarity with on-prem / bare-metal environments
- Experience in the financial services industry or a regulated technology environment strongly preferred
- Prior experience deploying software into regulated or air-gapped customer environments (banking, healthcare, or government)
- Experience with Kubernetes network policy, namespace isolation, and multi-environment rollout strategies
- GPU scheduling and cost optimization for model inference
- Cloud (AWS) experience useful for tooling and CI/CD pipelines
