• Observability: Design and implement enterprise-grade logging, metrics, and tracing for Kubernetes at scale.
• IaC Leadership: Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code to a senior standard, taking charge of state strategy, module design, and drift management.

Requirements

• Azure Core: Multi-subscription landing zones, hub-and-spoke networking, Entra ID, Azure Policy, Private Link, Key Vault, Azure RBAC. (MUST)
• AKS Platform Architecture: Building strict multi-tenant environments, logical isolation (namespaces/RBAC), network policies, resource quotas, upgrade strategies, node pools, and workload identity. (MUST)
• Advanced Kubernetes Ecosystem: Deep understanding of control plane mechanics, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and operators. (MUST)
• IaC: Terraform / Open Tofu module design. (MUST)
• Kubernetes Engineering: GitOps (Argo CD/Flux), secrets management, ingress/mesh, and OPA/Gatekeeper. (MUST)

We Offer

• The chance to join an organization with triple-digit growth that is changing the paradigm of how software products are built.
