Azure Kubernetes Platform Engineer We are seeking a skilled Azure Kubernetes Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable, secure, and high-performance Kubernetes platforms on Azure. This role is ideal for someone passionate about cloud-native technologies, platform engineering, and enabling teams through robust infrastructure and automation. Key Responsibilities Design, deploy, and manage production-grade platforms on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Build and optimize containerized workloads using Docker, ensuring efficiency and security. Implement event-driven autoscaling solutions using KEDA. Develop and maintain reusable Helm charts to support scalable application deployments. Manage and integrate Azure services such as ACR, Key Vault, Managed Identities, and Azure Monitor. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitLab CI, with a strong focus on GitOps practices (Flux or Argo CD). Support GPU-based workloads, including configuration of NVIDIA device plugins and GPU node pools. Implement robust observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. Ensure platform security through Kubernetes best practices, including RBAC, workload identity, and non-root containers. Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates. Core Skills & Experience Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, particularly Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), in production environments. Advanced knowledge of containerization and Docker best practices. Experience implementing autoscaling using KEDA (ScaledObjects and ScaledJobs). Proficiency in Helm for packaging and deploying applications. Solid experience across the Azure ecosystem (AKS, ACR, Key Vault, Managed Identities, Azure Monitor). Experience building CI/CD pipelines and implementing GitOps workflows. Familiarity with GPU workloads in Kubernetes environments. Strong scripting skills in Bash and Python (PowerShell beneficial). Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry). Understanding of Kubernetes security and Infrastructure as Code principles. Nice to Have Advanced KEDA scaling patterns (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Prometheus metrics, cron-based scaling). Experience with Python-based machine learning workloads and modern packaging tools (uv, pyproject.toml, tox). Knowledge of PostgreSQL and Redis in highly available containerized environments. Experience with Java / Spring Boot microservices. Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal, Ray, or Argo Workflows. Exposure to WASM/WASI workloads on Kubernetes. FinOps experience in multi-team Kubernetes environments. Relevant certifications (e.g., CKA, CKAD, CKS, AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-305). Why Join Us? Work on cutting-edge cloud-native and Kubernetes technologies. Build platforms that empower engineering teams at scale. Collaborate in a highly technical, forward-thinking environment.
