Your goal is to make Kubernetes "invisible" for our developers. You will design and implement the automated machinery-the "paved road"-that enables application teams to move from code to production securely and reliably, without managing the underlying infrastructure themselves.
Responsibilities
Platform Engineering & Automation
Internal Developer Platform (IDP): Build and maintain our developer portal, creating a unified "single pane of glass" for service catalogs, self-service actions, and scorecards.
K8s Core: Design, implement, and maintain production-grade Kubernetes clusters with a focus on multi-tenancy, security, and high availability.
GitOps Mastery: Implement and manage automated deployment workflows using GitOps principles (ArgoCD or Flux).
Self-Service APIs: Create abstractions (using tools like Crossplane or custom CLI tools) to simplify cloud resource provisioning and integrate them directly into our company IDP.
Developer Experience (DevEx)
Workflow Optimization: Analyze the developer's "inner and outer loops" to identify friction points and automate them away via the IDP.
Standardization: Create Helm charts, CI/CD templates, and "Gold Path" configurations that embody our companys best practices for security and observability.
Technical Mentorship: Act as a subject matter expert for R&D teams, providing guidance on containerization, microservices architecture, and cloud-native patterns.
Operational Excellence
Observability: Build comprehensive monitoring and logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and surface these metrics within our company IDP to give developers deep insights.
Security & Compliance: Implement automated policy enforcement (OPA/Kyverno) and ensure all platform components adhere to Identity Security standards.
Infrastructure as Code: Maintain 100% of the platform via IaC tools like Terraform/Pulumi/OpenTofu etc.
Technical Requirements
5+ years of experience in Software Engineering, DevOps, or Platform Engineering.
Expertise in Kubernetes: Deep hands-on experience with K8s administration, networking (CNI), and storage (CSI).
Developer Portal Experience: Familiarity with Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) such as Port.io and Backstage is highly desirable.
Strong Programming: Proficiency in Go (Golang) or Python. Experience writing Kubernetes Operators or Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) is a significant advantage.
CI/CD & GitOps: Proven experience with ArgoCD, Flux, or advanced Jenkins pipelines at scale.
Cloud Infrastructure: Professional experience with AWS (EKS, IAM, VPC) or similar major cloud providers.
IaC Tools: Mastery of Terraform or Pulumi.
Soft Skills
Customer-Centric: You view internal developers as your customers and strive to provide a world-class user experience.
Problem Solver: Ability to debug complex distributed system issues across the entire stack.
Communicator: Clear documentation skills and the ability to explain technical "whys" to diverse audiences.
