Role overview
Toku creates bespoke cloud communications and customer engagement solutions to reimagine customer experiences for enterprises, combining local strategic consulting expertise, bespoke technology, regional in-country infrastructure, connectivity, and global reach. Headquartered in Singapore, Toku supports customers across APAC and beyond, with a growing footprint across global markets. The company is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to take on its most senior individual-contributor role within the Infrastructure team, working alongside the VP of Infrastructure to set technical direction, architecture, and engineering standards while remaining deeply involved in solving complex technical challenges. This is a cloud-agnostic role with strong current emphasis on Microsoft Azure, also spanning an existing AWS environment, driving modern cloud architecture, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, observability, CI/CD, and automation.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and evolution of secure, scalable and highly available Azure infrastructure, including Landing Zone architecture, governance, networking, identity, security guardrails and reusable infrastructure patterns
- Apply strong cloud architecture principles across Azure and AWS, establishing appropriate standards for scalability, resilience, security and operational effectiveness
- Continue to evolve the AWS estate across multi-account / AWS Organizations architecture, networking, IAM, security guardrails and core production services
- Act as a senior technical authority for Infrastructure, owning key architectural decisions, establishing engineering standards and identifying opportunities to improve existing approaches
- Own and improve Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning, developing reusable modules, consistent multi-environment patterns, testing and policy controls for reliable, repeatable deployment
- Architect, operate and improve production Kubernetes environments across Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Amazon EKS, ensuring they are scalable, resilient, secure and operationally robust
- Design and improve infrastructure delivery pipelines using technologies such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, integrating IaC, version control, automated testing, policy enforcement and deployment automation
- Build and improve monitoring and observability using technologies such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Cortex, Loki and Azure-native observability services, including dashboards, monitors, alerting and integrations
- Use Python and automation to reduce repetitive operational work, integrate infrastructure tooling and improve reliability; review automation code and provide technical direction on how infrastructure automation should be structured
- Build reusable infrastructure capabilities that enable engineering teams to provision, deploy and operate applications efficiently with less manual dependency on Infrastructure
- Engineer for high availability, disaster recovery and production resilience while embedding strong cloud security, IAM, networking, access controls and security guardrails into infrastructure design
- Mentor infrastructure engineers through hands-on collaboration, technical and design reviews and knowledge sharing, raising engineering capability while remaining an individual contributor
- Work closely with Software Engineering, Security and other technical teams to understand requirements and design appropriate infrastructure solutions
Requirements
- Approximately 8–14 years of relevant cloud, infrastructure, DevOps or platform engineering experience, including significant hands-on responsibility for production cloud environments and experience operating at Staff, Senior Staff, Principal, Architect or equivalent technical level
- Strong hands-on Azure infrastructure architecture, implementation and operational experience; comfortable designing and establishing Azure environments rather than only administering existing services; Azure Landing Zone, governance, networking, identity and security experience
- Good hands-on AWS architecture and production experience across services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, CloudFront and Route53
- Advanced hands-on Terraform experience, including reusable modules, state management, multi-environment infrastructure, testing and scalable IaC patterns
- Strong production Kubernetes experience, ideally across AKS and EKS, with the ability to architect, troubleshoot and improve containerised environments
- Strong experience designing and operating infrastructure CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions, Jenkins or comparable technologies
- Hands-on experience configuring monitoring and observability using Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, Cortex, Loki, Azure-native services or comparable platforms, including dashboards, alerting and integrations
- Practical hands-on Python experience for infrastructure scripting and automation, with the ability to understand, develop and review automation code
- Strong architectural judgement across cloud networking, security, IAM, scalability, availability, disaster recovery and production reliability, combined with the hands-on capability to implement and validate designs
- Experience influencing architecture and engineering standards, reviewing technical designs and mentoring engineers while remaining deeply hands-on
Nice to have
- Multi-account / AWS Organizations experience
- ArgoCD, Flux, Helm or other GitOps experience
- Experience with policy-as-code, FinOps, service meshes, hybrid/on-premise infrastructure, or telecom/CPaaS and regulated/data-residency-sensitive environments
Benefits
- Toku has been recognised as a LinkedIn Top Startup
- Toku has been recognised by the Financial Times as one of APAC's Top 500 High Growth Companies
- Opportunity to join a growing company where you can have meaningful technical influence while solving complex real-world infrastructure challenges
