Kubernetes Platform Engineer/Architect
Global IT Solutions, Inc - Texas
Job Title Kubernetes Platform Engineer/Architect Location Remote / Seattle, WA Duration Long Term About The Role We are seeking an exceptional Kubernetes Architect to lead the design, development, and deployment of our next-generation infrastructure platform. This is a very senior-level role for someone who not only understands Kubernetes deeply but can write complex manifests, operators, and controllers from scratch, and architect resilient, secure, and performant systems that scale to millions of users. As a technical visionary and hands‑on expert, you will lead the evolution of our cloud‑native architecture, including designing serverless systems on Kubernetes, integrating with CI/CD, and ensuring observability, security, and cost‑efficiency across environments. Responsibilities Architect and implement end‑to‑end Kubernetes infrastructure for large‑scale, cloud‑native applications. Design and build serverless platforms on top of Kubernetes using technologies such as Knative, OpenFaaS, or KEDA. Develop and maintain Kubernetes custom resources (CRDs), controllers, operators, and admission controllers in Go or Python. Define multi‑tenant, multi-region architecture supporting millions of users with high availability and low latency. Lead Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management (provisioning, upgrades, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting). Collaborate closely with engineering teams to containerize applications, write Helm charts or Kustomize overlays, and standardize deployment practices. Implement infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane. Lead efforts around observability, policy enforcement, cost optimization, and RBAC/security hardening within the cluster. Evaluate and integrate Kubernetes ecosystem tools (e.g., Istio/Linkerd, ArgoCD, Flux, Prometheus, Grafana, OPA, etc.). Mentor and upskill DevOps engineers and SREs in Kubernetes best practices. Essential Skills & Qualifications 12+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles. 5+ years of hands‑on Kubernetes experience, including deep knowledge of the Kubernetes API, internals, networking, and storage. Proficiency in writing Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and custom Kubernetes controllers/operators (preferably in Go). Proven experience designing cloud‑native systems that scale globally (multi‑region, multi‑cloud or hybrid setups). Experience with serverless technologies (Knative, OpenFaaS, AWS Lambda, etc.) in a production environment. Strong knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure. Experience with GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Flux), service meshes, policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper), and CI/CD pipelines. Deep understanding of security, compliance, and resilience in containerized workloads.
