Job description

You’re a Kubernetes expert, confident designing, deploying, managing and troubleshooting Kubernetes. Ensuring the seamless orchestration and subsequent scalability of relevant applications is second nature.

You’re confident with differing deployment strategies; Helm, GitOps, self hosted or managed services - assessing what is the best way to achieve the required goal. You have good experience of service mesh, be that Linkerd, Istio, consul or other.

You’ll work on complex Kubernetes infrastructure at scale, in a microservices containerised environment. Work will see you optimising containerised applications for performance, scalability, and reliability while developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments. You will monitor and troubleshoot issues, ensuring uptime and efficiency, implementing security and setting the best practices.

In addition to the Kubernetes work, you’ll utilise infrastructure as a code - Terraform, Cloudformation, Pulumi or Bicep, depending on the best tool for the job. Automation is paramount, with a scripting key. Knowledge of Linux is needed as complex on-premise to cloud migration work could be required.

For you there is the chance to use K8s at scale, staying at the forefront of technology, implementing new tools as they become available on the market. You’ll be able to train, with courses, conferences and certifications funded - chance to be a fully funded Kubestronaut! You’ll work hybrid, collaborating with other tech lovers to build great platforms with about 60-70% of your time remote.
