Core Tasks:

As a Senior Engineer in the Platform Engineering team, you will:

• Develop and promote best practices and standardized templates for Helm chart creation, ensuring sensible defaults and secure configurations.
• Implement and champion secure and easy-to-use solutions for secrets management within Kubernetes.
• Collaborate closely with software development teams, architects, and operations teams to understand their requirements, gather feedback, and drive adoption of platform improvements.
• Provide expert-level technical guidance, support, and training to development teams on Kubernetes, Helm, CI/CD best practices, and our new platform abstractions.
• Own and maintain clear, accessible documentation, tutorials, and examples for the tools and services you build.
• Actively contribute to enhancing our internal developer experience by advocating for and implementing best practices, automation, and shared standards in the cloud-native space.
• Automate deployments to Kubernetes.

• Extensive hands-on experience with managed Kubernetes platforms, specifically OpenShift and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
• Expertise in Helm, including chart development, templating, best practices for structuring charts, managing dependencies, and defining overrideable values.
• Strong knowledge of secrets management strategies and tools in Kubernetes (e.g., Kubernetes Secrets, Azure Key Vault integration).
• Demonstrable experience in designing and building developer-centric tools, APIs, or platform abstractions.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and experience with relevant tools to automate application delivery to Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with containerization technologies (Docker) and best practices for creating secure and optimized container images.
• Experience with Microsoft Azure cloud services.
• Ability to take ownership and drive initiatives from concept to production with an end-to-end perspective.
