Job description

We are partnered with a Financial Services Institution to look for a hands‑on Platform Infrastructure Engineer. This role sits within the Infrastructure team and focuses on the day‑to‑day operation, stability, and reliability of Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms.

This is a core infrastructure role, not a DevOps or application engineering position. The successful candidate will act as the local SME for container platforms and work closely with global infrastructure teams across regions.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and maintain Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift clusters in a production environment
• Perform BAU activities including patching, upgrades, monitoring, and troubleshooting
• Support platform stability, availability, and performance across environments
• Manage namespaces, access control, networking, routing, and platform configuration
• Work with monitoring and logging tools to ensure proactive issue detection
• Respond to infrastructure incidents, participate in on‑call rotations, and support incident resolution
• Collaborate with global infrastructure teams on standards, changes, and deployments
• Work closely with local infrastructure, network, and server teams
• Support on‑site infrastructure activities, including data centre visits when required
• Maintain documentation, runbooks, and operational procedures

Required Experience

• At least 6 years of experience in Infra / Platform Engineering
• Strong experience administering Kubernetes in production
• Hands‑on experience with Red Hat OpenShift (on‑prem, cloud, or hybrid)
• Solid Linux system administration background
• Good understanding of networking fundamentals (DNS, routing, ingress)
• Experience supporting production environments with operational responsibility
• Comfortable working independently and owning platform outcomes
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and incident management

Nice to Have

• Exposure to hybrid infrastructure environments (on‑prem + cloud)
• Familiarity with ITIL‑based incident and change processes
• Experience working in regulated or enterprise environments
• Basic scripting or automation experience (Bash, Python, Ansible)
• Understanding of application deployment concepts on container platforms
