Jobbeschreibung

Design, automate, and operate Kubernetes‑based internal platforms that give product teams secure, paved paths to production.

You will own golden‑path templates, infrastructure as code, and platform capabilities that balance speed with guardrails. You’ll work closely with SRE and security to keep platforms observable, compliant, and cost-aware.

Responsibilities

• Own Kubernetes platform components, base images, and Terraform modules used across teams
• Implement and harden CI/CD pipelines (policy checks, supply‑chain security, secrets handling)
• Partner with app teams to evolve reusable service templates and deployment strategies
• Continuously improve reliability, performance, and developer experience through instrumentation and feedback loops
• Guide upgrades and migrations (clusters, ingress, service mesh, databases) with clear runbooks

Requirements

What you’ll need

• Strong Terraform or similar IaC skills and a bias for codified guardrails
• Hands‑on CI/CD expertise (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins) including artifact and secret management
• Proficiency in at least one language (Go, Python, or similar) for platform tooling
• Solid observability practice: metrics/logs/traces, alert design, and SLO thinking
• Based in New York City or remote.

Nice to have

• Experience with service mesh, progressive delivery (canary/blue‑green), and traffic shaping
• Multi‑region or multi‑cloud design and incident mitigation experience
• Security‑minded pipelines (SBOMs, image signing, policy enforcement like OPA/Kyverno)
• Cost‑aware platform patterns (request limits, autoscaling policies, rightsizing playbooks)
• Developer portal or internal platform product management exposure
