BENCH+ PROFILE

Kirill

DevOps / Platform Engineer
Cloud platform modernization, infrastructure automation, SRE practices, and AI-enabled operations tooling

Senior platform-focused engineer with strong hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud migration, CI/CD, observability, incident response, and security-compliance support, with additional applied AI/LLM automation for operations workflows.

BEST-FIT USE CASE

Best suited for senior platform, SRE, or infrastructure automation work involving cloud modernization, Kubernetes-based deployments, Terraform-managed environments, CI/CD standardization, operational observability, and AI-assisted internal tooling.

Not the primary fit: Less aligned with roles centered primarily on pure model training, frontend product development, mobile development, or dedicated security tooling ownership without a platform engineering component.

EVIDENCE HIGHLIGHTS

What supports the assessment

01

Led cloud modernization and reliability initiatives, including migration from virtual-machine-based workloads toward Kubernetes-hosted microservices.

02

Implemented infrastructure automation with Terraform across multiple cloud environments, including networking, compute, identity, and security configuration.

03

Optimized CI/CD workflows with automated provisioning to Kubernetes clusters and standardized release practices.

04

Built operational tooling that extracted incident and work-item data, transformed it into structured formats, and prepared it for analytics or LLM-based processing.

05

Developed an AI-assisted incident summarization workflow using Python, data extraction, knowledge-base comparison, vector memory, and multiple LLM providers.

06

Supported security and compliance activities through IAM/RBAC controls, vulnerability-related hardening, audit cycles, and cloud security posture tooling.

07

Created runbooks, playbooks, and operational documentation for troubleshooting, incident handling, and platform support.

08

Participated in on-call and high-severity incident response for production-oriented infrastructure and service environments.

WORKING STYLE

How they show up

  • Works comfortably across distributed teams and different time zones.
  • Uses pull requests, branch-based changes, testing, and review steps before merge or deployment.
  • Clarifies ambiguous tasks through experimentation, lab environments, documentation, and communication with responsible engineers.
  • Communicates technical details thoroughly and can explain implementation decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Has experience with agile ceremonies, sprint planning, retrospectives, and stakeholder feedback loops.
