As a Lead Software Engineering member of the Systems Reliability and Software Delivery team, you will design, build, and enhance cloud-native platform capabilities for enterprise application teams using Kubernetes-based platforms. You will develop scalable container-based solutions, create Helm charts, manage deployment templates, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to reduce delivery friction and improve developer experience. The role involves implementing security best practices, managing vulnerability controls, and ensuring operational excellence across containerized environments. To succeed, you must possess expertise in Java, Python, Bash scripting, and Linux OS internals. You will work with tools including Podman, Packer, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI/CD. Additionally, the role requires experience with Azure Kubernetes Service, Docker, and various security tools like Aqua Security or Snyk to solve complex infrastructure automation and platform modernization challenges within a containerized ecosystem.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and support container-based platform solutions to improve developer productivity and accelerate software delivery.
  • Build and maintain Kubernetes platform capabilities, reusable deployment patterns, and automation frameworks.
  • Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines for secure, scalable, and efficient application deployment.
  • Create and maintain Helm charts, deployment templates, and platform automation tools.
  • Implement security best practices, including vulnerability management and compliance controls, across containerized environments.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues within containerized environments and implement long-term technical solutions.
  • Partner with development teams to improve onboarding experiences and self-service capabilities for containerized solutions.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and contribute to continuous platform innovation and modernization efforts.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience developing enterprise software applications using Java.
  • Proficiency in Bash scripting, Python, Linux OS internals, and container/OCI technologies like Podman.
  • Hands-on experience building and supporting Kubernetes environments, specifically Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
  • Strong experience with Helm for Kubernetes application packaging and deployment.
  • Experience designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD.
  • Knowledge of infrastructure automation, DevOps methodologies, and various Linux distributions like RHEL and Ubuntu.
  • Preferred Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with container security tools, Terraform, and advanced AI-assisted delivery techniques.
