Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a hands-on Kubernetes Platform Engineer to help build and operate Ecolab’s new enterprise container platform across Azure and AWS. You’ll provision and run production clusters, write Infrastructure as Code, build GitOps CI/CD pipelines, and automate day-to-day operations. A big early focus is standing up Azure AKS from the live AWS EKS model and moving developer-run deployments onto governed pipelines. This is a builder’s role for an engineer who enjoys automating toil and keeping production healthy.
Key Responsibilities:
• Build & operate clusters: Provision, upgrade, and run production AKS/EKS clusters — networking, storage, ingress, autoscaling, observability.
• Infrastructure as Code: Build and maintain platform IaC with Terraform and Helm.
• CI/CD & GitOps: Build and improve pipelines in Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions and ArgoCD (with Kustomize) for the platform and its app teams.
• Networking: Implement cluster networking and IP allocation at scale (Cilium CNI).
• Automation: Automate cluster lifecycle, patching, cert rotation, scaling, and backups; enable self-service infra (e.g., Crossplane).
• Security: Harden clusters to CIS Benchmarks and remediate Mythos vulnerability findings with security.
• Reliability: Join the on-call rotation, troubleshoot production issues, and support app teams with golden paths and docs.
Required Skills & Experience
• 5+ years in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering with hands-on production Kubernetes.
• Hands-on with AKS and/or EKS.
• Terraform and Helm.
• CI/CD and GitOps pipelines across Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions (ArgoCD or Flux).
• Kubernetes networking, including pod-IP allocation (Cilium or similar CNI a plus).
• Scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell, or Go).
• Working knowledge of CIS hardening.
• Comfortable across more than one cloud and/or hybrid; solid Linux, containers (Docker/containerd), and networking fundamentals.
Nice to Have Skills & Experience
• Cilium / eBPF depth
• Argo Rollouts / progressive delivery; Kustomize
• Envoy Gateway / Kubernetes Gateway API, workload identity, and Crossplane self-service infra
• Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd); policy-as-code and image scanning
• Observability (Elastic, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
• CKA/CKAD; Azure/AWS certs; Terraform Associate
