closed vacancy Kubernetes Platform Architect (100% remote)

We are looking for a Kubernetes Platform Architect

YOUR JOB

• You are responsible for designing our Kubernetes-as-a-Service platform. But of course, you are not alone. We already have multiple cross-functional teams working on different parts of the platform and all team members are engaged in the product process.
• You work closely with one team and write user stories.
• You decide with the Product Owners what will be developed and when, and make strategic product decisions.
• You communicate a clear vision and help the team to prioritize.
• You participate in all development events (Daily StandUp, Planning, Retrospective, Reviews).
• You are also motivated by proactive stakeholder management (customer, PO’s, cross-functional Dev Teams, other internal departments) and gather requirements, manage expectations and set priorities.

REQUIREMENTS

• You have at least 5 years of work experience in a tech-driven environment and you know stuff about enterprise software, cloud, open-source and distributed systems. You can tell us about your professional experience with Kubernetes and infrastructure.
• You find the right tone for all stakeholders. Especially with our cross-functional engineering teams, you are available and engaged. (We are currently building a product where we put customer requirements into product requirements and stories which work for a multitude of customers).
• You can deal with being empowered to make decisions.
• You understand the market, product, business, and any constraints involved.
• You have an understanding of how our product is developed and delivered, you know a lot about agile methodologies but you don’t need to do everything according to the guide book.
• You fight for good UX as this is a huge part of our product.
• You are happy to work in a fast-changing environment and adapt the way you work according to the current status of the company. We are operating in the evolving container ecosystem;the whole market is highly volatile.
• Not a must-have but a major plus: You are able to start a cluster on one of our test installations and can install external-DNS there, trying out a few settings as well as evaluating it for the roadmap story.
• Having worked with Kubernetes before is mandatory
• You have excellent English skills (our company language is English)
• We (and our customers) are currently mostly distributed around Europe (around UTC), thus, your main timezone is somewhere between -2UTC to +2UTC to ensure better communication.
