Job Purpose:

We are building an enterprise AI-as-a-Service platform that brings together reusable AI services, DataOps, MLOps, LLMOps, Kubernetes-based workloads, APIs, and secure enterprise integrations.

As a Senior Platform Engineer in Data DC, you will focus on the service and integration layer above the cloud foundation. You will help deploy, integrate, automate, and operationalise AI and data-platform services on Kubernetes.

Role insights:

• Deploy and maintain containerised AIaaS, DataOps, MLOps, and LLMOps services on Kubernetes.
• Integrate services such as workflow orchestration, data integration, metadata management, model tracking, feature stores, notebooks, model serving, RAG, and LLM observability.
• Develop and maintain Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, configuration templates, and deployment pipelines.
• Establish repeatable deployment patterns across DEV, test, and production environments.
• Configure namespaces, service accounts, RBAC, resource quotas, network policies, secrets, certificates, and application ingress.
• Integrate platform services with enterprise APIs, databases, object storage, identity providers, monitoring systems, and internal data sources.
• Implement application-level observability using metrics, logs, traces, health probes, dashboards, and actionable alerts.
• Support vulnerability remediation, container-image governance, certificate renewal, secrets rotation, backup integration, and platform hardening.
• Diagnose failures spanning Kubernetes workloads, service configuration, APIs, identity, networking, storage, and external dependencies.
• Produce deployment documentation, technical runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and handover material.
• Review vendor deliverables and identify hidden infrastructure assumptions, privileged dependencies, portability gaps, and operational risks.
• Help translate pilot implementations into repeatable, supportable production services.

What makes you unique:

• Strong practical experience operating applications on Kubernetes.
• Sound knowledge of Helm, Kubernetes manifests, services, ingress, RBAC, secrets, ConfigMaps, persistent volumes, and network policies.
• Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure or configuration automation.
• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language, preferably Python, Go, or Bash.
• Experience integrating APIs, databases, identity services, object storage, and enterprise applications.
• Working knowledge of monitoring and observability concepts across metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting.
• Ability to troubleshoot across application, Kubernetes, network, identity, and storage boundaries.
• Clear technical communication and the ability to collaborate across engineering, security, architecture, and operations teams.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Cilium, CRI-O, Traefik, cert-manager, Kyverno, Falco, Harbor, Velero, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or OpenTelemetry.
• Exposure to Airflow, Airbyte, Meltano, OpenMetadata, MLflow, Feast, JupyterLab, LangFlow, vLLM, or RAG platforms.
• Experience with GPU scheduling, NVIDIA GPU Operator, model serving, or AI inference workloads.
• Familiarity with Exoscale or another European or sovereign-cloud provider.
• Experience assessing workload portability between Kubernetes distributions.

Our gratitude for the job done will be eternal, but we’ll also offer you:

• Innovative technologies and platforms to work with.
• Modern working environment for your comfort.
• Friendly, ambitious, and motivated teammates to support each other.
• Thousands of online and in-person learning opportunities to grow.
