Senior Platform / Infrastructure Engineer

About the Position

Binariks is looking for a Senior Platform / Infrastructure Engineer to join our team.

Our client has a mature Kubernetes platform - clusters, networking, certificates, DNS, GitOps deployment, full observability. It works well in their existing regions. Now they need to build it again in China. The cloud providers are different ones (Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, Huawei, or the Azure China / AWS China partitions - which are run by separate local entities and are not drop-in equivalents of the global partitions). Their managed Kubernetes offerings diverge from upstream in ways you only find out by hitting them. Public container registries, Helm repositories and package indexes aren't reliably reachable, so image and dependency distribution has to be solved in-region. Certificate issuance and DNS behave differently. And data residency is a hard requirement - China-resident data stays in China.

Responsibilities

• Kubernetes - production operational experience, not just application deployment
  • CNI and cluster networking
  • Ingress configuration
  • RBAC
  • Cluster and node upgrade paths
  • PersistentVolumes and CSI drivers
• Managed Kubernetes - provisioning and operating clusters on a cloud provider's managed offering (EKS, AKS, GKE, or equivalent)
  • Provisioning clusters and node pools as code
  • Integrating with provider-native services: load balancers and ingress controllers, the CSI driver for provider block and file storage, and cluster DNS
  • Understanding what the managed offering does not give you, and where its defaults diverge from upstream Kubernetes
• Terraform - authoring and maintaining infrastructure modules
• Certificate and DNS management - cert-manager, Let's Encrypt, DNS providers

Requirements

• Candidate must demonstrate hands-on production experience. Client will screen on this.

Nice to Have

• Deploying applications to Kubernetes with Argo CD and a GitOps workflow
• Helm chart authoring - not just consuming published charts
• Multi-tenant and multi-region platform design and operations, including standing up a new
