[Hiring] Senior Platform Engineer @VSG Business Solutions

Role Description

The Senior Platform Engineer will be an individual contributor responsible for migrating our Plotly Dash Enterprise platform from Microsoft Azure (AKS) to Google Cloud Platform (GKE). The role owns the administration and engineering of the Dash Enterprise environment, including Kubernetes infrastructure, Helm-based installation and upgrades, identity integration, and cutover, so that the data applications our business teams rely on move to GCP with minimal disruption and are operated reliably afterward.

The Senior Platform Engineer will:

• Lead the migration of Plotly Dash Enterprise from Azure AKS to GCP GKE, including inventory and validation of the current Azure environment with the internal team, target architecture, cutover planning, rollback strategy, and runbooks.
• Install, configure, and upgrade Dash Enterprise on GKE Standard using Helm, including workspaces, resource limits, node pools, tolerations, and platform health.
• Provision and manage the GCP infrastructure for the platform, including GKE clusters and node pools, VPC networking, internal load balancing, persistent SSD storage with customer-managed encryption, and a container registry, using Terraform.
• Migrate the platform's supporting services, including PostgreSQL, Gitea, the container registry, and the Keycloak identity layer, and validate data integrity after cutover.
• Re-establish identity and security integrations in GCP, including Keycloak federation with PingFederate and LDAP, Istio ingress, certificate management, secrets, and network and firewall access.
• Design and enforce workload isolation for the Dash environment, including dedicated node pools, network policies, resource quotas, and organization policy compliance.
• Migrate existing Dash applications and validate them on the new platform, working with application owners on dependency, connectivity, and configuration changes.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Harness or ArgoCD) and manage artifacts and container images through the enterprise registries (JFrog, Nexus, or equivalent), plus monitoring, logging, and alerting for the new environment.
• Document the platform, operating procedures, and migration lessons learned, and hand off knowledge to the internal team.
• Collaborate across platform, cloud, security, networking, and application teams to meet enterprise security and compliance requirements.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional experience in platform, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure engineering.
• Hands-on experience administering Plotly Dash Enterprise, or deep experience administering comparable Kubernetes-hosted data-application platforms with the ability to learn Dash Enterprise quickly.
• Strong experience with Kubernetes (GKE), including deployment, networking, ingress, storage, node pools, and troubleshooting.
• Production experience with Google Cloud Platform (GKE, VPC networking, IAM, persistent storage, encryption).
• Demonstrated experience leading a cloud-to-cloud or on-premises-to-cloud migration of a production platform.
• Proficiency with Terraform and Helm.
• Experience with Docker and containerized application deployment.
• Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines (Harness, ArgoCD, or similar) and Git-based workflows.
• Working knowledge of identity and security integration, including OIDC/SAML, LDAP, certificates, and secrets management.
• Experience administering PostgreSQL, including backup, restore, and migration.
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools and with production support practices.
