Cloud Engineer

About Our Team:

We're a leader in the restaurant industry, disrupting it through digital transformation and operational efficiencies.

Our technology hub is located in India, leading technology innovation and product development for our organization and its portfolio of distinct brands.

The focus is on developing new capabilities in data science, data analytics, e-commerce, automation, cloud computing, and information security to accelerate our business strategy.

Platform & DevOps Engineers will require hands-on work on one or more public cloud platforms leveraging several PaaS and marketplace services.

This role plays a key part in the configuration, implementation, monitoring, and troubleshooting of platform components, including networking, VMs, API management services, Application Gateways, Load Balancers, Kubernetes clusters, etc.

The engineer will write code that bridges the gap between application and infrastructure using tools like Terraform and test the system to be reliable, scalable, and resilient.

Diagnostics tests will be developed and run to verify the correct design of the platform, which usually means writing code for diagnostics so that the testing of the platform takes place automatically.
