Platform Engineer (Kubernetes) - up to €96,000

Build and run Kubernetes at serious scale - on-prem and in the public cloud.

We're hiring a Platform Engineer for one of the world's best-known enterprise software companies, based in the heart of Dublin 2. If you love the GitOps way of working - everything as code, reviewed, and shipped through pipelines - this is your kind of team.

What's in it for you:

  • Annual Salary up to €96,000 (DOE)
  • 11-month contract with the possibility of extension
  • PAYE, paid weekly via Principle HR
  • Location: Dublin, Hybrid working - 2-3 days per week on-site

What you'll need:

  • 3+ years running Kubernetes in production (CKA a strong plus)
  • 5+ years of deep Linux experience
  • Hands-on experience with cloud-native automation and tooling - Flux/Argo, Terraform, Helm
  • Solid networking skills: ingress/egress, load balancing, DNS, TLS, firewalls (service mesh a bonus)
  • Software development skills in Golang or Python (custom operators a plus)


A typical day might look like:

  • Patching and upgrading Kubernetes infrastructure, both on-prem and in the public cloud
  • Building and maintaining pipelines for testing and shipping infrastructure-as-code
  • Improving monitoring and alerting with Prometheus and Grafana
  • Leveraging AI tooling to speed up how the team builds, scales and resolves incidents
  • Troubleshooting and supporting production workloads alongside a team that deploys everything as code
