[Hiring] Lead Kubernetes Platform Engineer @EverOps

Role Description

EverOps is looking for a Lead Kubernetes Platform Engineer with deep Amazon EKS experience at very large scale to lead a modernization discovery, and the engineering program that follows it, for a high-scale consumer mobile platform.

• Stepping into a multi-cluster production EKS estate where the largest clusters run tens of thousands of pods at peak.
• Upgrading the estate is slow and largely manual, so the team is perpetually behind the Kubernetes release cycle.
• This role requires someone who has run Kubernetes at this scale before, can form a clear point of view on an unfamiliar estate quickly, and can turn that into a sequenced, costed plan.

As a Lead Kubernetes Platform Engineer, you will join our U.S.-Based Virtual Operating Center and lead an embedded TechPod as its Pod Leader .

• Your immediate priority is leading a two-month EKS modernization discovery .
• As discovery closes, your focus shifts to leading execution of the modernization program across three phases.

Success is measured in the customer’s own terms: a lower cost to serve per active user, and a real reduction in the share of platform engineering time consumed by maintenance and keep-the-lights-on work.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• 4+ years operating production Kubernetes.
• Prior experience in a technical lead, staff, or principal-level role.

Requirements

• Deep production experience with Amazon EKS at large scale.
• Hands-on ownership of EKS version upgrades across multiple production clusters.
• Advanced production experience with Karpenter (v1+).
• Strong understanding of EC2 instance families and generations.
• Experience migrating production workloads to Graviton or other ARM64 platforms.
• Experience modeling compute costs and commitments.
• Solid knowledge of the AWS VPC CNI, ingress controllers, and load balancing on EKS.
• Advanced proficiency with Terraform.
• Comfortable using Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable tooling.
• Strong scripting ability using Python, Go, or Bash.
• Demonstrated ability to enter an unfamiliar environment and produce a defensible current-state picture.
• Ability to translate technical findings into cost, risk, and capacity terms.

Benefits

• 100% Remote Workplace: We’ve been remote since Day 1!
• Unlimited Paid Time Off.
• Equity: Become a true owner of the company.
• 401K with company contribution and sponsored healthcare.
• Professional Growth: Access to training and certification programs to accelerate your career.
