Our client is a global software company that's been quietly powering some of the world's most important systems for more than 45 years across healthcare, finance, logistics and government.

Their technology sits behind critical platforms used globally, the sort of environments where uptime, scalability and resilience genuinely matter. They're building out a new Kubernetes and cloud engineering function in Dublin and are hiring up to five engineers across Senior, Lead and Principal level roles.

This is a sizeable investment into their cloud-native platform capability, with the team focused on designing, building and evolving large-scale Kubernetes platforms across AWS, Azure and GCP.

Depending on your level, you'll either be heavily involved in the engineering and automation side or operating as a senior technical lead helping define architecture, standards, scalability and long-term platform strategy.

The environment is very engineering-led. Lots of focus around Kubernetes at scale, Infrastructure as Code, observability, automation and platform reliability across mission-critical managed services and SaaS products.

Why Join

You’ll be joining during a major cloud transformation programme, helping build and scale Kubernetes platforms across AWS, Azure and GCP supporting critical global systems.

There’s real ownership here too. Senior engineers will shape platform engineering standards and automation, while Principal-level hires will influence architecture, cloud strategy and long-term technical direction.

The Dublin team is growing quickly, so it’s a good time to join if you want visibility, progression and the chance to help shape how the platform function evolves.
