Summary
Alexey Eshmetov is a DevOps/SRE professional with 6+ years of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms across AWS and GCP, including multi-country roles at RingCentral and a current Platform Engineer role at Rakuten in Tokyo. He specializes in Internal Developer Platforms (Backstage), GitOps (Argo CD, Argo Workflows), Kubernetes at scale (EKS/GKE/Helm), and IaC with Terraform/Terragrunt, enabling teams to self-serve via standardized service catalogs and golden paths. At RingCentral he led migrations to EKS, implemented ClickHouse Cloud integration, and codified deployment patterns with Helm and Argo to improve reliability and on-call visibility. He also brings strong observability and incident-response practice building Prometheus/Grafana SLO-driven alerting and runbooks, alongside secrets and RBAC hardening using Vault and IAM. Based in Tokyo with full work authorization, Alexey is open to Senior Platform Engineer, DevOps, or SRE roles in English-speaking environments and often pairs platform work with practical automation that reduces toil for engineering teams. A detail not obvious from job titles: he has hands-on experience authoring reusable Terraform/Terragrunt modules and service templates that accelerate onboarding across global teams.
