Azure Kubernetes Platform Engineer - Wroclaw - Poland - Hybrid

Azure Kubernetes Platform Engineer

We are seeking a skilled Azure Kubernetes Platform Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable, secure, and high-performance Kubernetes platforms on Azure. This role is ideal for someone passionate about cloud-native technologies, platform engineering, and enabling teams through robust infrastructure and automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and manage production-grade platforms on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

• Build and optimize containerized workloads using Docker, ensuring efficiency and security.

• Implement event-driven autoscaling solutions using KEDA.

• Develop and maintain reusable Helm charts to support scalable application deployments.

• Manage and integrate Azure services such as ACR, Key Vault, Managed Identities, and Azure Monitor.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or GitLab CI, with a strong focus on GitOps practices (Flux or Argo CD).

• Support GPU-based workloads, including configuration of NVIDIA device plugins and GPU node pools.

• Implement robust observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.

• Ensure platform security through Kubernetes best practices, including RBAC, workload identity, and non-root containers.

• Define and manage infrastructure using Terraform, Bicep, or ARM templates.

Core Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, particularly Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), in production environments.

• Advanced knowledge of containerization and Docker best practices.

• Experience implementing autoscaling using KEDA (ScaledObjects and ScaledJobs).

• Proficiency in Helm for packaging and deploying applications.

• Solid experience across the Azure ecosystem (AKS, ACR, Key Vault, Managed Identities, Azure Monitor).

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and implementing GitOps workflows.

• Familiarity with GPU workloads in Kubernetes environments.

• Strong scripting skills in Bash and Python (PowerShell beneficial).

• Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).

• Understanding of Kubernetes security and Infrastructure as Code principles.

Nice to Have

• Advanced KEDA scaling patterns (e.g., Azure Service Bus, Prometheus metrics, cron-based scaling).

• Experience with Python-based machine learning workloads and modern packaging tools (uv, pyproject.toml, tox).

• Knowledge of PostgreSQL and Redis in highly available containerized environments.

• Experience with Java / Spring Boot microservices.

• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal, Ray, or Argo Workflows.

• Exposure to WASM/WASI workloads on Kubernetes.

• FinOps experience in multi-team Kubernetes environments.

• Relevant certifications (e.g., CKA, CKAD, CKS, AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-305).

Why Join Us?

• Work on cutting-edge cloud-native and Kubernetes technologies.

• Build platforms that empower engineering teams at scale.

• Collaborate in a highly technical, forward-thinking environment.
