DevOps Engineer - Kubernetes at Scale

DevOps Engineer - Kubernetes at Scale

📍 Amsterdam, NL (Hybrid)

🌍 EU citizens based in the Netherlands only

This role is for a DevOps / Platform Engineer who wants Kubernetes to be the product - not a side tool.

You’ll be working on the core infrastructure behind an AI-powered no-code platform used by enterprise teams. Under the hood, this is a serious cloud-native system: distributed, security-sensitive, and built to scale. The infrastructure team owns the platform everything runs on.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and operate production-grade Kubernetes platforms at scale
• Own the full Kubernetes lifecycle: provisioning, upgrades, scaling, security, and reliability
• Improve cluster networking, ingress, workload isolation, and service-to-service communication
• Enable development teams through Kubernetes-native CI/CD pipelines
• Implement and maintain observability across Kubernetes workloads
• Respond to incidents in live environments and harden the platform afterward
• Work closely with product and security teams to balance power, safety, and speed

Core Technical Skills (Kubernetes-Focused)

• Strong, hands-on experience operating Kubernetes clusters in production
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals: scheduling, networking, storage, and security
• Experience running Kubernetes on AWS and/or Azure (managed services)
• Infrastructure as Code experience, preferably Terraform
• Container tooling experience: Docker, Helm, Kustomize
• CI/CD pipelines tightly integrated with Kubernetes
• Observability tooling for Kubernetes environments: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry
• Pragmatic security mindset for containerised, multi-tenant platforms

What They’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years in DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure roles
• Proven experience running live Kubernetes environments
• Comfortable owning reliability, upgrades, and platform evolution
• Experience supporting product teams without slowing them down
• Calm under pressure when things break - and methodical afterward

Bonus Experience

• Multi-cluster or multi-cloud Kubernetes setups
• CKA / CKAD / cloud certifications
• Experience with internal platforms, PaaS, or developer tooling
• Background in fast-scaling product environments

The Environment

The team values ownership, strong engineering judgment, and people who understand that Kubernetes at scale is as much about design and discipline as it is about tooling.

What’s Offered

• Competitive salary with clear growth paths
• Kubernetes-heavy role with real ownership and influence
• Hybrid working model with an Amsterdam office
• Platform-level impact - not maintenance work
• Stable product, modern stack, and long-term technical challenges
