Job Description

We are hiring a senior engineer to design and deliver a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) platform for Presto SaaS across Azure and AWS (IBM Cloud is a strong plus), with a focus on GPU-enabled infrastructure. This role will lead architecture and implementation of secure, scalable, production-grade deployments for enterprise customers running Presto workloads on Kubernetes/OpenShift, with GitOps-based operations. What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

  • Production-ready BYOC reference architecture for Azure and AWS (with GPU support).
  • Automated, repeatable deployment blueprints using Argo CD/Flux CD.
  • Reliable Kubernetes/OpenShift runtime with clear SLOs, observability, and incident playbooks.
  • Reduced onboarding time for new customer environments.
  • Documented architecture standards and best practices adopted across teams. Define and drive architecture for Presto SaaS BYOC deployments on Azure and AWS.
  • Design GPU-native infrastructure patterns for high-performance query processing and related workloads.
  • Build and operate multi-cloud Kubernetes/OpenShift platforms for reliability, scale, and cost efficiency.
  • Implement and standardize deployment workflows using Argo CD and/or Flux CD.
  • Develop cloud platform services, automation, and operators using Go and Python.
  • Create robust provisioning and operational tooling using shell scripting and IaC patterns.
  • Lead platform security, networking, IAM, observability, and production readiness.
  • Collaborate with product, SRE, security, and engineering teams to convert requirements into production architecture.
  • Own design reviews, implementation plans, and technical execution across teams.
  • Mentor engineers and establish engineering standards, documentation, and operational playbooks.
  • Troubleshoot complex multi-cloud and GPU platform issues in production environments.
  • Contribute to roadmap decisions for Presto SaaS platform modernization and customer onboarding. 6-8+ years of hands-on cloud platform engineering experience, including senior-level architecture ownership.
  • Strong production experience with Azure.
  • Strong production experience with AWS.
  • Deep expertise with Kubernetes; practical experience with OpenShift in enterprise environments.
  • Strong experience with GPU infrastructure (sizing, scheduling, drivers/runtime, performance tuning, and operations).
  • Strong coding skills in Go and Python.
  • Solid scripting and automation skills with Bash/Shell.
  • Proven experience designing end-to-end cloud architectures and driving implementation.
  • Strong understanding of cloud-native technologies: networking, IAM, storage, security, observability, and CI/CD.
  • Hands-on experience deploying workloads with Argo CD and/or Flux CD.
  • Working knowledge of Presto (open source) architecture, deployment, and operations. Experience with IBM Cloud (added advantage).
  • Experience building BYOC or customer-managed deployment models for SaaS products.

Preferred technical and professional experience

Familiarity with Presto ecosystem components and query engine performance optimization.

  • Experience with multi-cluster/multi-region platform design.
  • Prior contributions to open-source or internal platform frameworks. Strong ownership and decision-making in ambiguous, high-impact environments.
  • Excellent cross-team collaboration and stakeholder communication.
  • Ability to balance architecture quality with execution speed.
  • Mentorship mindset and commitment to engineering excellence. United States Software Engineering Hybrid Professional San Jose, US
