Infrastructure Automation Engineer Jobs in Utah

INTRODUCTION

The Platform Infrastructure team at iCapital is responsible for designing, standardizing, and evolving the core infrastructure that powers our global technology stack. As Vice President, Platform Infrastructure Architecture, you will serve as a senior individual contributor architect, helping define and evolve the technical standards that underpin our Kubernetes platforms, cloud networking, edge services, and API access patterns.

This role is architecture-first, with regular hands-on involvement to validate designs through reference implementations and proof-of-concept project work. You will work closely with Platform Infrastructure engineers and application teams to ensure that platform capabilities are scalable, secure, and consistent across regions, while remaining practical to operate.

Responsibilities

• Evolve platform architecture standards across core infrastructure domains.
• Design and validate Kubernetes platform architecture, including cluster lifecycle, autoscaling strategies, node provisioning, and OS standards (e.g., EKS, Karpenter, Bottlerocket).
• Define cloud networking architecture patterns, including VPC design, routing, ingress/egress, TGW design and private connectivity.
• Own architectural guidance for edge and traffic management, including CDN, DNS, and TLS strategies (e.g., Akamai, Cloudflare).
• Define and standardize API Gateway and north south access patterns for secure and consistent service exposure.
• Establish and maintain multi account and multi cluster architecture standards supporting scale, isolation, and operational clarity.
• Produce and maintain reference architectures, design documents, and architectural guardrails consumed by Platform Infrastructure engineers and application teams.
• Review proposed platform designs and changes to ensure alignment with long term architecture strategy.
• Stay hands on through proof of concepts, reference implementations, and technical deep dives to validate architectural decisions.
• Partner with engineering, security, and product teams to ensure platform standards are practical, well understood, and broadly adopted.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of experience in platform, cloud, or infrastructure engineering roles, with demonstrated architectural responsibility.
• Strong hands on experience designing and operating Kubernetes platforms in production environments.
• Deep understanding of AWS infrastructure, including networking, security primitives, and managed services.
• Experience designing cloud networking and edge architectures, including ingress/egress and traffic management.
• Proven ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear standards and reference architectures.
• Comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor with influence across multiple teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain architectural decisions to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Certifications (AWS / Kubernetes) are a plus but not required.
