Senior DevOps Kubernetes Engineer

A growing cloud infrastructure provider is expanding its next-generation Kubernetes platform and is looking for an experienced Kubernetes Engineer to help run and evolve the service that powers modern, high-demand workloads.

This role focuses on a new Kubernetes architecture built with Cluster API , designed to integrate seamlessly with an established Magnum-compatible interface. You’ll play a key role in operating the platform day-to-day, supporting customer migrations to the new architecture, and ensuring clusters remain reliable, scalable, and production-ready.

This is a deeply hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving difficult infrastructure problems, improving system reliability, and working with teams that support demanding workloads—such as high-traffic streaming and content delivery platforms where uptime and performance are non-negotiable.

You’ll collaborate closely with platform architects, infrastructure engineers, and customer-facing teams while helping shape operational practices and automation that keep the platform running smoothly at scale.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production environments, with deep Linux systems knowledge and familiarity with container runtimes such as Docker or containerd

• Experience running Kubernetes in cloud environments and using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible to automate platform operations (Openstack preferred)

• Practical expertise with Kubernetes networking, storage, and ingress components, along with observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience with Kubernetes cluster lifecycle frameworks

• Experience working with distributed or object storage platforms such as Ceph or S3-compatible storage systems
