Senior Platform Engineer (Infrastructure & DevOps)

Anaqua is hiring a Senior Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer in Hyderabad to own the hosting, CI/CD, security and operations layer that the rest of engineering depends on. In this hands-on role, you will manage GCP infrastructure, GitLab pipelines, edge security and observability for the Anaqua/RightHub stack. This is an infrastructure and automation role — Java development is not part of the position.

You'll Love This Job if You Like To: Own GCP infrastructure with the team — GKE clusters, multi-region setup, global load balancing, autoscaling, VPC networking, DNS, firewall rules and IAM. Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines and shared CI templates consumed across every service team. Help shape company-wide standards for how services get deployed, secured, monitored and rolled back. Operate and harden the cluster — node pool upgrades, namespace/RBAC/resource-quota design, rolling updates, health probes, and supply-chain security. Run the platform security stack — gateway policies, secret rotation, dependency scanning, workload identity, and IAM least-privilege. Own observability and incident response on GCP — structured logging, metrics, dashboards, alerting, post-mortems and on-call runbooks. Build internal developer tooling — CLIs, self-service workflows and golden-path automation. Treat AI tooling as a daily collaborator, building platform tooling, runbooks and structured logs that both humans and AI agents can work against.

What You'll Need To Be Successful: Strong production ownership on GCP — operating real workloads, not just standing up demos. Kubernetes in production (GKE) — deployments, Helm, RBAC, resource quotas, rolling updates, multi-region setups and rollbacks. Terraform as a daily tool, with clean management of IAM, networking, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL and secrets. CI/CD pipeline depth — GitLab CI at scale, with security and dependency scans built into the pipeline. Cloud networking depth — VPC design, load balancing, DNS, firewall rules and network security groups. Production observability and reliability on GCP — structured logs, metrics, SLIs/SLOs/error budgets, on-call rotations, and post-mortems. Operational PostgreSQL and asynchronous messaging on GCP Pub/Sub, plus scripting in Bash and Python or Go. Excellent written and spoken English, comfortable working across time zones; GCP certification, gRPC/Envoy experience, FinOps practice, or a background in IP/legal-tech/regulated B2B SaaS all an advantage.
