What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain automation for cluster lifecycle management — provisioning, upgrades, and scaling.

  • Own the reliability, performance, and security of Kubernetes workloads in production.

  • Implement observability, logging, and alerting for clusters and critical workloads.

  • Partner with product teams to design scalable, cloud-native services and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Set the standards for resource management, networking, and RBAC across the platform.

  • Lead incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-mortems for platform issues.

  • Mentor engineers and raise the bar for platform engineering across the org.

You

  • 5+ years in Platform, Infrastructure, or SRE roles, including running Kubernetes in production at scale.

  • Deep knowledge of Kubernetes internals and day-2 operations (upgrades, scaling, troubleshooting).

  • Strong with Helm, Kustomize, or similar, and GitOps-based delivery.

  • Proficient with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent).

  • Solid grounding in networking, service meshes, and container runtimes.

  • Hands-on with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

  • Strong coding skills in Go or Python for automation and tooling.

  • Practical security experience: network policies, secrets management, and image scanning.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with multi-cluster, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments.

  • Knowledge of GPU scheduling, HPC workloads, or ML/AI infrastructure.

  • Experience with workflow orchestration / durable execution frameworks (Temporal, Cadence, or Argo Workflows).

  • Exposure to cost optimization and capacity planning for large clusters.

  • Contributions to CNCF or Kubernetes open-source projects.

  • CKA/CKS certification.
