    • Provisioning, upgrades, patching, and decommissioning
  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code:
    • Terraform modules
    • Cluster bootstrap and configuration automation
  • Implement and operate GitOps workflows for platform components
  • Integrate Kubernetes capabilities into the Internal Developer Platform (IDP):
    • Standard cluster and namespace patterns
    • Approved ingress, secrets, and observability integrations
  • Participate in a rotational on-call/support model for platform-level incidents
  • Troubleshoot Kubernetes platform issues and improve reliability
  • Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, and operational standards
  • Collaborate with IDP, application support, infrastructure, and security team


Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
  • Strong hands-on experience operating production Kubernetes environments
  • Experience with on-premises, VM-based infrastructure
  • Solid understanding of:
    • Kubernetes internals
    • Linux systems and networking
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform
  • Experience working with multiple cloud environments (at least one deeply)
  • Familiarity with Git-based workflows and GitOps tools
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot distributed systems and production issues
Desired / Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Experience with multiple managed Kubernetes services (EKS, GKE, AKS, OKE)
  • Experience running Kubernetes on-prem (bare metal or VM-based)
  • Exposure to:
    • Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, logging systems, Open Telemetry)
    • Ingress and traffic management
    • Secrets and certificate management
    • Prior experience integrating infrastructure platforms into an Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
  • Understanding of SRE concepts (SLOs, error budgets, incident response)

Soft Skills
  • Ownership mindset: accountable for platform outcomes
  • Generalist approach: comfortable across infrastructure, Kubernetes, and operations
  • Strong problem solver: able to handle ambiguous and complex issues
  • Clear communicator: explains technical topics effectively
  • Collaborative: works well across teams and shares responsibility
  • Calm under pressure: effective during incidents and outages
  • Documentation-driven: values clarity and knowledge sharing
