What Youll Do

You'll work at the intersection of platform engineering and client-facing presales, translating business goals into delivery-ready architectures and then executing them. This role demands both technical depth — EKS operations, DevSecOps controls, SRE fundamentals — and the communication skills to run discovery workshops and build compelling solution narratives.

You'll produce client-ready artifacts (reference architectures, roadmaps, runbooks, backlog decomposition) and own the platform foundations that accelerate releases while improving reliability and governance.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery workshops; capture non-functional requirements, risks, and dependencies
• Define target-state platform architecture, delivery sequencing, and acceptance criteria
• Build demos and solution narratives for platform modernization, DevSecOps enablement, and Kubernetes adoption
• Translate business goals into delivery-ready epics, user stories, and measurable success criteria
• Implement CI/CD and GitOps operating models — promotion, approvals, release governance, rollback patterns
• Build EKS foundations: cluster lifecycle, node pools, autoscaling, ingress, workload placement, and operations
• Enforce DevSecOps controls: secrets management, IAM least-privilege, policy-as-code, image scanning, SBOM workflows, and auditability
• Establish observability and reliability baselines: metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, incident playbooks, capacity planning, and DR patterns
• Linux troubleshooting and performance tuning for containerized workloads and cloud runtimes

Required Qualifications

• Fluent or Advanced English
• Strong experience with Kubernetes cluster administration and operations in production environments
• Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes workload deployment and management best practices
• Experience implementing Kubernetes security practices, including hardening, RBAC, and policy management
• Solid experience with AWS multi-account architecture design
• Advanced knowledge of IAM, VPC networking, security controls, and EKS operations
• Hands-on experience with Cloud-Native tools and practices, including Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps
• Knowledge of container security and software supply-chain security practices
• Familiarity with SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) principles, observability, monitoring, and incident management
• Experience supporting AI infrastructure operations
• Knowledge of GPU-capacity operations and inference platform readiness
• AWS Certification

Nice To Have Skills

• Experience with IBM i (AS/400) server administration, operations, or migration projects is considered a plus
