Kubernetes Platform Engineer – Global Investment Firm

We are hiring a Kubernetes Platform Engineer to join a highly technical infrastructure team within a global investment firm in Singapore.

This is a hands-on role focused primarily on designing, building and operating Kubernetes platforms. The team is continuing to move towards Infrastructure-as-Code and is looking for someone who can help develop the Kubernetes platform, improve the developer deployment experience and automate the underlying infrastructure around it.

What you will do

• Design, build and operate production Kubernetes platforms and clusters.
• Provision and manage Kubernetes infrastructure using Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code.
• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps workflows that allow developers to deploy applications reliably.
• Develop and maintain Helm charts and Kubernetes YAML configurations.
• Manage Kubernetes upgrades, networking, storage, security and platform lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters, nodes, workloads and production platform issues.
• Build automation and internal tooling using Python, Bash and/or Go.
• Improve platform observability using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
• Work closely with developers to improve how applications are built, deployed and operated.
• Help evolve the underlying infrastructure architecture to better support the Kubernetes platform.
• Contribute to platform security, reliability, scalability and operational standards.

What we are looking for

• Strong hands-on experience building and operating Kubernetes platforms in production.
• Experience managing Kubernetes at the platform / cluster level, rather than only deploying applications onto existing clusters.
• Strong Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code experience.
• Hands-on experience with Helm and Kubernetes YAML.
• Experience developing infrastructure automation using Python, Bash and/or Go.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and modern software deployment practices.
• Experience troubleshooting production Kubernetes environments.
• Knowledge of Kubernetes networking, storage, security and observability.
• Solid Linux fundamentals.

Experience can come from either self-managed/on-premises Kubernetes environments or public-cloud platforms such as AWS EKS, Azure AKS or Google GKE.

This role would suit a Platform Engineer, Kubernetes Engineer or SRE whose recent experience has been heavily focused on building and operating Kubernetes platforms rather than broader general infrastructure administration.
