Platform Engineer
Are you the Kubernetes and Platform Expert that we need ?
We're looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join the Consumer Centricity Platform Operations team. In this role, you'll be responsible for the operational stability, security, and reliability of a mission-critical Kubernetes platform powering customer-facing applications and APIs.
This is not a traditional DevOps or SRE position. You'll act as the operational owner of the platform, ensuring all environments (Development, Test, Acceptance, and Production) remain secure, available, and performant while supporting continuous improvements and operational excellence.
If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, working with cloud-native technologies, and maintaining highly available production platforms, we'd love to hear from you.

Reliability & Incident Management
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation for critical platform services.

- Perform Root Cause Analyses (RCA) and implement preventive improvements.
- Maintain operational runbooks and documentation.
Observability & Monitoring
- Operate and improve the platform observability stack.
- Monitor metrics, logs, traces, and alerting.
- Improve monitoring quality while reducing alert fatigue.
- Support production troubleshooting through telemetry analysis.
Platform Change & Release Management
- Plan, execute, and document platform changes.
- Ensure changes follow structured change management processes.
- Communicate effectively with stakeholders during releases and maintenance windows.
Security & Compliance
- Manage RBAC, secrets, certificates, and network security controls.
