We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to own the hands-on, day-to-day engineering and reliability of Kubernetes-based application platforms. You will enable development and vendor teams to deploy microservices safely, consistently and independently through Helm, GitLab CI/CD, Argo CD and HashiCorp Vault.
