Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer who specialises in building and supporting Kubernetes platforms for multiple business units and teams. In this role, you will be instrumental in developing, managing, and continuously improving a robust, scalable, and multi-tenanted Kubernetes platform used across Nine's digital and media properties.

Your expertise will enable application teams to deploy, monitor, and scale their services efficiently while ensuring the underlying platform remains highly reliable, secure, and optimised. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration and adopting modern DevOps practices to deliver a seamless platform experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and maintain a scalable and secure Kubernetes platform to support workloads for multiple business units.
  • Collaborate with developers to enable smooth onboarding, deployment, and operations of containerised applications.
  • Build automation and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD pipelines to manage Kubernetes resources and clusters.
  • Optimise the platform for multi-tenancy, ensuring fair resource allocation, security isolation, and cost efficiency.
  • Integrate the platform with observability solutions, enabling teams to monitor logs, metrics, and traces effectively.
  • Define and enforce platform best practices, including resource usage policies, security standards, and operational guidelines.
  • Act as a subject matter expert and mentor for teams adopting Kubernetes, sharing knowledge and fostering a culture of operational excellence.
  • Support the lifecycle management of Kubernetes clusters, including upgrades, scaling, and incident resolution.
  • Ensure compliance with security and regulatory requirements, incorporating robust auditability and access controls into the platform.

Qualifications

You will have a deep passion for platform engineering, with a strong customer-first mindset. You’re a natural collaborator who thrives in solving complex challenges and enabling teams to succeed at scale.

What we’re looking for:

  • Extensive experience building and managing Kubernetes platforms in cloud or hybrid environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure preferred).
  • Strong expertise in container orchestration, including workload scaling, networking, and storage within Kubernetes.
  • Proficiency with automation tools such as Terraform, Helm, and CI/CD platforms.
  • Experience integrating Kubernetes with observability stacks, particularly open-source tools like Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo.
  • Knowledge of securing Kubernetes environments, including RBAC, network policies, and image scanning.
  • Advanced scripting and programming skills (e.g., Go, Python, Shell).
  • Familiarity with managing multi-tenanted platforms, ensuring fair resource sharing and cost optimisation.
  • Experience supporting development teams with deployment pipelines, troubleshooting, and production readiness.
  • AWS, GCP, or Azure certifications are highly regarded.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
