We are looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to help shape and enable an open-source data and analytics platform as an internal platform product for its users. The platform is being built as part of a transition from a Databricks-based environment to a Kubernetes-based architecture, with the target landing zone expected to be primarily AKS or OpenShift on-premises and EKS as a less likely option. This role combines platform engineering expertise with product-oriented thinking, focusing on how platform capabilities are packaged, standardized, documented and made consumable by data and analytics teams.
Responsibilities
- Define how platform capabilities are consumed by internal users and delivery teams
- Support the standardization of deployment patterns, onboarding flows and platform usage models
- Shape repository structures, configuration management approaches and reusable deployment templates
- Translate platform engineering capabilities into repeatable and consumable services for data and analytics workloads
- Contribute to the definition of platform standards for access and permissions, secrets usage and deployment workflows
- Establish platform standards for storage consumption, backup expectations and service onboarding
- Improve the usability, consistency and adoption of platform services across teams
- Collaborate with engineering teams to identify friction points and improve self-service and operational simplicity
- Provide documentation, guidance and enablement for teams consuming the platform
- Work closely with the Lead Platform Engineer and technical stakeholders to translate the Kubernetes platform, delivery pipelines and operational controls into clear platform offerings
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Kubernetes-based platforms and cloud-native delivery models
- Expertise in GitOps and modern platform delivery approaches
- Proficiency in platform standardization and reusable deployment patterns
- Understanding of developer and platform user experience
- Skills in translating technical platform capabilities into consumable internal services
- Fluent communication skills in English at a B2+ level
Nice to have
- Familiarity with AKS and/or OpenShift
- Knowledge of Azure DevOps, Argo CD and Terraform
- Familiarity with OpenShift operator-based deployment patterns
- Knowledge of Nexus Repository or similar enterprise artifact/image repositories
- Background in supporting data and analytics platform users
