Job description

You’re a Kubernetes expert thriving on designing, deploying, and managing large-scale containerised environments. Confident in orchestration, scalability, and troubleshooting, you know how to keep applications running seamlessly. You’re a security-minded engineer, be that through open source tooling or private: Falco Vs Aqua. You know how to build, run, manage, and secure clusters at scale.

You’re well-versed in different deployment strategies, Helm, GitOps, self-hosted, or managed services, analysing and choosing the best approach for the job. Service meshes like Linkerd, Istio, and Consul are all in your toolkit, and can be applied when the time is right.

In this role, you’ll optimise Kubernetes infrastructure at scale, enhancing performance, reliability, and security. You’ll develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automate deployments, and troubleshoot issues to ensure maximum uptime. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Bicep) is second nature, and scripting in Linux is key, especially for complex on-prem-to-cloud migrations.

What’s in it for you? Cutting edge K8s work, hands-on with the latest tools, and the freedom to implement new tech. You’ll have access to fully funded training, conferences, and certifications with the ability of becoming a certified Kubestronaut! Work hybrid, with two to three days a week in London, collaborating with passionate engineers to build great platforms.
