About the Job

Requirements

  • Extensive platform, infrastructure or site reliability engineering experience, with a track record of operating production systems at scale; Staff-level candidates typically have 8+ years and Principal-level candidates 12+ years, although demonstrated impact is also considered.
  • Strong command of infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform or equivalent, continuous integration and continuous delivery, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.
  • Hands-on experience implementing observability across APIs, cloud services and distributed systems using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, the ELK stack or comparable tools, including service-level objective and error-budget practices.
  • Familiarity with real-time and batch ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data quality at production scale.
  • Fluency in a primary backend language such as Python or Go, and a strong focus on automation, testing and reliable, maintainable systems.
  • A record of setting technical direction, leading complex initiatives across teams and mentoring senior engineers while remaining hands-on.
  • A pragmatic, rigorous, ownership-driven approach and ability to thrive in a small, fast-moving environment.
  • Strong experience with self-managed technologies such as Kafka and Elasticsearch, and Kubernetes.
  • Working knowledge of TCP/IP, TLS, tunneling and overlay networks, packet routing and filtering, DNS and firewalling, and familiarity with Zero Trust Network Access or adjacent domains such as VPN, SDP, SASE or software-defined networking.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and operate the cloud infrastructure, services and pipelines that AppGate’s AI and cloud products run on.
  • Use Terraform and Helm for cloud provisioning, service deployment and configuration management.
  • Instrument APIs, cloud services and AI/ML infrastructure with metrics, logging, tracing and alerting, and define service-level objectives and operational health metrics.
  • Build real-time and batch data ingestion pipelines, feature stores and data-quality capabilities.
  • Develop third-party connectors, APIs and platform integrations.
  • Build model-serving and inference pipelines, experiment tracking, and MLOps tooling for deployment, versioning, drift monitoring and lifecycle management.
  • Apply site reliability engineering practices to reduce toil, improve resilience, and keep latency and uptime within target across the platform.
  • Automate infrastructure-as-code, continuous integration and continuous delivery, and self-service tooling so product teams can ship safely and quickly.
  • Define platform standards, architecture and best practices, and raise engineering standards through design reviews and mentorship.
  • Partner with data scientists, product teams and leadership to align platform investment with AppGate’s strategic vision.
  • Reason about traffic paths, latency and throughput end-to-end, and instrument the network as a first-class observability signal.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building or operating model serving, inference pipelines and MLOps tooling such as MLflow, Kubeflow or SageMaker, including model deployment, versioning and drift monitoring.

About the Company

AppGate Cybersecurity

Zero Trust SDP-based secure access platform

AppGate Cybersecurity provides Zero Trust security solutions focused on universal ZTNA and fraud protection for large enterprises and government agencies. Its flagship Appgate SDP replaces VPNs and firewalls by creating dynamic, least-privilege, one-to-one encrypted connections between a user and specific resources, making the rest of the network invisible. Access adapts in real time to user context and device posture and scales across cloud, hybrid, and on‑prem environments, with integration to existing security ecosystems and advisory services. The goal is to reduce attack surfaces and offer secure, scalable access, differentiating itself through the Segment of One approach and its broader security services ecosystem.
