Atlanta, Georgia, United States ExecuSource Full time $135,000 per year

Role : Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer
Location:
Atlanta, GA - Onsite| Relocation & Sign-On Eligible

Type:
Full-Time

Salary:
up to $135K

About The Role
Due to ongoing growth and the rollout of our container-first policy, we are hiring a Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer to design and implement a self-managed, Kubernetes-based container platform. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape the foundational architecture that will be used enterprise-wide across all of the company business units.

This role is not focused on Kubernetes administration or maintenance. Rather, you'll be building and deploying the first version of a standardized, scalable platform to be leveraged by engineering teams throughout the organization. Ideal candidates will come from a software engineering background and have moved into DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles with hands-on Kubernetes experience.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the design and implementation of a self-managed Kubernetes container platform on internal infrastructure (not cloud-based).
  • Build platform components for orchestration, networking, observability, storage, and security.
  • Define and create templated Kubernetes solutions that can be rolled out across business units.
  • Write automation scripts and tools from scratch (Python preferred; Go, Bash also accepted).
  • Partner with engineering and architecture teams to tailor solutions for enterprise scalability.
  • Collaborate closely across departments to gather requirements and deliver platform capabilities as a service.
  • Stay up to date with emerging container technologies and advocate for best practices.
  • Contribute to internal documentation and guide other engineering teams through adoption.

Required Qualifications
What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in software development, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
  • 2+ years of hands-on Kubernetes design, build, and deployment in a production environment
  • Strong scripting and automation skills—must be able to write scripts from scratch
  • Experience with internal infrastructure (bare metal or data center Kubernetes)
  • Proficient in Python, Go, Bash, or similar languages
  • Strong understanding of Kubernetes internals: networking, service mesh, RBAC, persistent storage, etc.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible
  • Solid problem-solving skills, and ability to work autonomously
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with OpenShift, Tanzu, or similar Kubernetes distributions
  • Familiarity with container technologies like Docker or Podman
  • Exposure to monitoring and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)
  • Certifications such as Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or equivalent
