Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer (Real-time Media, WebRTC, Edge + Cloud)

Senior Platform / DevOps Engineer (Real-time Media, WebRTC, Edge + Cloud) Job title: Platform / DevOps Engineer (WebRTC, Edge + Cloud)   Location: Bengaluru (Hybrid/Office)   Employment type: Full-time   Experience: 5–12+ years (flexible for strong fit) About the role We’re building and operating a LiveKit-like real-time communications platform (WebRTC) that must scale to millions of calls with edge PoPs for ultra-low latency and multi-region cloud reliability .
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role focused on production systems, performance, and resilience.
We’re especially interested in engineers who’ve seen scale in real-time/streaming infra.
What you’ll do Own reliability and performance of signaling, SFU/media nodes, TURN , routing, failover, and capacity planning Build and run multi-region Kubernetes platforms with secure networking and zero-downtime deployments Design edge + cloud architecture: PoPs, global routing, failover, autoscaling, DR Implement SLOs/SLIs , incident response, postmortems, and operational excellence Create strong observability : metrics, logs, tracing, and real-time QoE/latency metrics Ship Infrastructure-as-Code and automation: Terraform, Helm, GitOps, CI/CD Required skills Strong production experience with Kubernetes at scale (multi-cluster/multi-region) Strong Linux + networking fundamentals (UDP/TCP, NAT, conntrack, DNS, load balancing) Experience with IaC + delivery : Terraform, Helm, GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux), CI/CD Proven on-call ownership for high-availability systems Nice to have WebRTC/RTC operations: ICE, STUN/TURN, SFU scaling, packet loss/jitter tuning Edge/PoP and traffic management experience (global routing, Anycast/DNS strategies) Cost optimization for bandwidth-heavy workloads Experience operating realtime/streaming systems at very high concurrency What success looks like You can keep a real-time system stable through traffic spikes, packet loss, ISP variability, zone/region failures You think in terms of latency budgets, concurrency, bandwidth, packets/sec , not just pods and nodes You build platforms that are observable, automatable, and easy to operate
