Corporate:

Engage in a deep variety of business‑critical activities that keep our company running efficiently. From strategic marketing and financial management to human resources and operational oversight, you’ll have the opportunity to optimize processes and implement game‑changing policies.

Responsibilities

Position Purpose:

As a Software Engineer on the Containers team, you’ll build, run, and continuously improve our Kubernetes platform, the foundation for application delivery. You’ll work hands‑on with cluster operations, networking, ingress, storage, and core platform services, partnering closely with development, security, and operations teams to support day‑to‑day platform needs and drive automation through infrastructure as code and CI/CD. Using cloud‑native and open‑source tools, you’ll help keep the platform scalable, reliable, and secure while improving performance and developer experience so teams can ship faster and with confidence.

This is a highly hands‑on role where your work directly shapes developer experience and platform reliability, enabling teams across the company to ship faster, safer, and on a scale.

Primary Duties will include:

• Own and evolve Kubernetes platforms (Rancher/RKE2 or AKS), defining standards for upgrades, scaling strategies, performance tuning, cost/capacity management, backups, and HA architecture.
• Design and lead automation and golden path initiatives, including Terraform modules, Helm/ Kustomize frameworks, reusable CI/CD workflows, and scalable self‑service onboarding.
• Own GitOps architecture with Argo CD, including digest‑pinned deployments, policy‑as‑code, image signing/SBOM integration, drift detection, and rollback strategies.
• Define and harden CI/CD patterns that balance speed, security, and compliance, including identity‑based cloud access, approvals, and immutable audit trails.
• Set strategy for container supply chain security and registry governance (ACR), including promotion models and immutability.
• Own platform observability, defining SLOs, alerting standards, dashboards, and capacity hygiene across clusters.
• Partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, and security leaders on platform adoption, incident response, runbooks, and long‑term planning.
• Act as a technical leader on the team: mentoring engineers, influencing design decisions, and contributing to roadmap planning.
• Ensure security and compliance controls are built into the platform by default without slowing delivery.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
