Description du poste

Kubernetes Platform Engineer - London / Paris

My client is a global quantitative and systematic investment manager, operating across all liquid asset classes worldwide. They are a technology and data-driven group that employs a scientific approach to investing. By combining data, research, technology, and trading expertise, they foster a collaborative environment that enables them to tackle complex challenges. Their culture of innovation continuously drives their ambition to deliver high-quality returns for investors.

Responsibilities:

• Design and lead the implementation of Kubernetes clusters (on-premises and/or cloud) with high availability, scalability, and security.
• Provide Kubernetes as a product to internal teams by delivering self-service capabilities such as namespace provisioning, templated jobs, and onboarding flows.
• Build reusable platform patterns and deployment blueprints using Helm, Kustomize, or custom controllers.
• Develop and maintain platform-aware GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD, Flux, and GitLab CI.
• Design tenancy-aware RBAC, network policies, and secrets management aligned with internal standards and developer autonomy.
• Deeply understand Kubernetes internals, including control plane components, CRDs, CNIs, and storage provisioning.
• Apply policy-as-code via admission controllers (OPA/Gatekeeper) to enforce compliance and enable safe multi-tenancy.
• Implement observability stacks to monitor cluster health, workload status, and policy violations, exposing this information through dashboards or APIs.
• Manage and support Kubernetes clusters across production, staging, and development environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure, container, and networking issues, automating operational tasks and developing developer-friendly tooling.
• Support application teams with onboarding and deployment, enabling paved-path workflows rather than ticket-based operations.
• Participate in on-call rotations and incident response related to Kubernetes and containerized applications.
• Demonstrate proficiency in Python, Golang, or similar languages, focusing on platform tooling, scripting, or controller development.
• Stay informed on industry trends and emerging technologies to enhance platform capabilities, developer experience, and operational resilience.

Due to high application volume, we carefully review all submissions. Please note that we may not respond to unsuccessful applicants.
