Job description

We're looking for an Infrastructure Expert to own and evolve our hybrid container and cloud platform, spanning Red Hat OpenShift / Kubernetes and Microsoft Azure. You'll be the technical authority for platform reliability, scalability, and security across our integration and application landscape, working closely with development, DevOps, and architecture teams.

Your responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and maintain OpenShift clusters (control plane, worker nodes, networking, storage, ingress/routes) for production workloads.


• Architect and manage Azure infrastructure: APIM, Service Bus, Blob Storage, PostgreSQL, networking (VNets, private endpoints), and identity (Managed Identity / Workload Identity Federation).


• Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform, Bicep, or ARM) for repeatable, auditable deployments.


• Own CI/CD pipeline infrastructure (Azure DevOps) supporting containerized .NET microservices deployed to OpenShift.


• Manage cluster security: RBAC, network policies, image scanning, secrets management (Key Vault integration), and compliance posture.


• Troubleshoot platform-level incidents across compute, networking, and Azure PaaS services — including root-causing pod scheduling issues, resource limits, and service-to-service connectivity.


• Capacity planning and cost optimization across OpenShift and Azure resources.


• Drive observability: logging, metrics, and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, Azure Monitor, or equivalent) for both cluster and application health.


• Partner with integration developers to define deployment patterns, resource requests/limits, and scaling strategies for event-driven and API-based workloads.


• Document architecture decisions and mentor engineers on platform best practices.

Your profile

• 5+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering, with hands-on production experience running OpenShift or Kubernetes at scale.


• Strong working knowledge of Azure core services: APIM, Service Bus, Storage, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, networking, and IAM/Managed Identity.


• Experience with Azure DevOps (or equivalent) for pipeline design and release management.


• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, Helm, or Kustomize).


• Solid understanding of container networking, ingress controllers, and service mesh concepts.


• Familiarity with securing containerized workloads (RBAC, network policies, secrets, image scanning).


• Scripting ability (Bash, PowerShell, or Python) for automation.


• Experience with .NET microservice deployment patterns and event-driven architectures (Service Bus, Kafka/Event Hubs).


• Red Hat certifications (RHCSA/RHCE, OpenShift Administration) or Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-700).


• Experience with GitOps tooling (ArgoCD, Flux).


• Background supporting integration/API platforms.

Our offer

• An extensive mobility program for a healthy work-life balance.


• A permanent training track which allows you to develop yourself personally and professionally.


• A stimulating, innovative workplace with numerous growth opportunities.


• A people-oriented environment with an interactive health program and a focus on employee wellbeing.
