  • Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code to a senior standard, taking charge of state strategy, module design, and drift management.

  • Proven experience building and architecting complex Kubernetes platforms from scratch.
  • Experience with Kubernetes platform engineering, including ingress and service mesh, OPA / Gatekeeper policy, secrets management, and progressive delivery.
  • Strong security awareness, displaying comfort with CAF / ALZ patterns, least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, and policy-as-code.
  • Experience working with regulated or financial services workloads on Azure.
  • FinOps instincts for managing AKS and networking costs effectively.

Benefits
