Job Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer based in Switzerland.

This role offers the opportunity to design, operate, and continuously evolve Kubernetes platforms supporting demanding production environments.

You’ll work across platform engineering, infrastructure automation, observability, security, and developer enablement.

The position combines hands-on technical ownership with opportunities to influence platform architecture and infrastructure roadmaps.

You’ll collaborate with distributed, multinational teams and help establish reliable, scalable, and secure engineering practices.

Your expertise will contribute to CI/CD, GitOps, monitoring, compliance, and automation initiatives across complex environments.

The role also provides scope to mentor colleagues and contribute to the technical growth of the wider engineering organization.

It is an excellent fit for a self-directed Kubernetes specialist who enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges at scale.

• Work extensively with OKD/OpenShift and platform technologies to deliver reliable infrastructure solutions.
• Automate platform provisioning and configuration using Terraform and Helm.
• Design and operate CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows, including ArgoCD-based deployment models.
• Develop automation and platform tooling using Go, Python, and/or Bash.
• Build and improve observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
• Design and implement SLI/SLO frameworks for distributed systems, helping improve reliability and operational visibility.
• Integrate security standards, compliance requirements, and platform security best practices into infrastructure architectures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and international teams on technical initiatives, platform roadmaps, and infrastructure improvements.
• Mentor colleagues, contribute to technical knowledge sharing, and support the continuous improvement of engineering practices.
• Create and maintain platform documentation, including architecture decision records, runbooks, and technical design materials.
