Kubernetes Platform Engineer
Nordic Investin is recruiting a Kubernetes Platform Engineer on behalf of one of our partner companies. You enjoy making Kubernetes boring in production, even when the workloads and organisational boundaries are anything but simple. You will strengthen cluster reliability, developer workflows and platform security while reducing the specialist knowledge required for routine delivery. Success will be measured through safer change, lower operational friction and clearer ownership rather than the number of tools introduced. You will collaborate with application teams, security and operations, using their feedback to decide what should become a shared service, an automated control or clear documentation. Ownership continues after the first release. As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. What you will do
Build and operate Kubernetes platforms in cloud or hybrid environments. Automate cluster lifecycle, add ons and policy management. Create deployment templates and self service workflows. Improve ingress, networking, secrets and workload identity. Develop monitoring and capacity management practices. Support incidents and convert lessons into platform improvements. What you will bring
Production Kubernetes administration and engineering experience. Infrastructure as code and GitOps delivery. Experience with observability and incident response. Scripting or software development in Python, Go or similar. Ability to work as an internal platform consultant. Experience that would add value
Service mesh or advanced network policy. OpenShift, AKS, EKS or GKE at scale. Platform engineering portals and golden paths. You are interested in the behaviours of the entire platform and can distinguish a useful abstraction from one that hides critical information. What makes the opportunity interesting
You will improve a platform that affects many engineering teams. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. You do not need every optional technology if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into technology and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
