Kyndryl; Greater London; Vor Ort; GBP 90.000 - 130.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Your Role: As a Forward Deployed Lead / Principal Engineer (Band 9) with Platform Engineering focus, you own architectural direction and delivery for major digital transformations, aligning target-state cloud architectures across Azure, GCP, and AWS. You guide the team’s technical direction while collaborating closely with AI engineers on complex engagements.

You will design and operate secure, scalable platforms; establish Kubernetes-based landing zones with GitOps (ArgoCD); and champion IaC

Qualifikationen

• 8–10+ years in enterprise or platform architecture, leading client-facing platform transformations.
• Deep, hands-on expertise across Azure, GCP, and AWS (landing zones, networking, IAM, cost and governance controls).
• Strong command of Kubernetes, GitOps delivery (ArgoCD), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm).
• Hands-on experience implementing security end-to-end: CI/CD tooling, Kubernetes namespace segmentation and managed identities, and secure access in landing zones and the hyperscaler.
• Hands-on experience with SSL/TLS certificate management, DNS zone administration, and secure network access to endpoints.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, Git-based workflows, and microservices/API architectures.
• Experience with generative AI platforms: LLM hosting, LLM gateways, and MLOps/LLMOps practices for deploying and monitoring AI systems in production.
• Strong stakeholder communication, translating architecture into business outcomes for senior stakeholders.

Aufgaben

• Design and build target-state cloud platforms across Azure, GCP, and AWS.
• Establish enterprise container platforms (Kubernetes) and GitOps-based delivery (ArgoCD).
• Build self-service developer frameworks and landing zones, hands-on with Terraform and Helm.
• Architect platforms that host and serve generative AI systems (LLM hosting, LLM gateways, agentic workflows).
• Guide legacy application modernisation, microservices migrations, and API integrations.
• Implement security end-to-end across the platform: security tooling built into CI/CD pipelines, namespace segmentation and managed identities in Kubernetes, and secure access controls in landing zones and the hyperscaler.
• Own connectivity and network-level security: SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle management, DNS zone management, and secure network access to endpoints.
• Define architectural standards and guardrails, with security as a first-class concern (policy-as-code / OPA, access controls, secrets management, compliance-driven engineering).
