Responsibilities include infrastructure provisioning, containerization, Helm and Terraform automation, GitOps CI/CD, service mesh configuration, security and compliance enforcement, disaster recovery, zero-downtime deployments, and operational troubleshooting. Senior and SME levels provide technical leadership, architecture, mentorship, capacity planning, and strategic platform guidance. The summary above was generated by AI Dark Wolf is seeking multiple levels of Kubernetes Engineers to provide technical leadership in designing, building, and maintaining elastic, secure, and resilient cloud foundations. The Kubernetes Engineers will architect multi-cloud and hybrid environments (EKS/Fargate, AKS, GKE, or self-hosted), drive GitOps-based CI/CD pipelines, and sustain critical platform initiatives-including Iron Bank and Big Bang integrations. You will lead technical teams, implement zero-downtime and disaster recovery strategies, and enforce strict security, compliance, and RBAC policies across all operational environments. The Kubernetes Engineers will operate in a hybrid capacity out of any of our Dark Wolf offices. Mid-level Engineer: * Provisioning, configuring, and monitoring containerized workloads and database solutions across Dev, Test, and Live environments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Helm. * Packaging and hardening applications into containers; assist with upstream synchronization, vulnerability remediation, and documentation updates for Big Bang and Iron Bank packages. * Supporting Continuous Integration and Delivery pipelines, managing container registries and GitOps workflows. * Resolving operational incident escalations, troubleshoot functional/performance issues, and assist with zero-downtime release deployments., * Implementing service-mesh (Istio) configurations, custom Helm charts, Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), and custom admission controllers. * Overseeing 100% compliance and security postures for assigned Platform One/Big Bang packages, ensuring successful release branch merges and upstream syncs. * Designing network connectivity, zero-downtime deployment strategies, and multi-region failover/failback procedures. * Leading technical tasks within Agile teams, contribute to capacity planning and demand forecasting, and provide direct technical mentorship to junior/mid-level engineers. * Functioning as a technical expert across the team and tasks, * Architecting elastic, cost-effective, resilient cloud foundations using loosely coupled designs across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. * Designing multi-datacenter Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies, zero-downtime architectures, and complex data protection/auditing frameworks. * Assessing and establishing strategic RBAC standards, platform security policies, and continuous compliance frameworks across all enterprise Kubernetes clusters (including Iron Bank). * Providing top-tier technical authority across Platform One infrastructure and innovation teams, shape long-term capacity forecasts, and make critical architectural decisions. * Providing technical/management leadership on major tasks or technology assignments. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Kubernetes Security Best Practices](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1411-kubernetes-security-best-practices) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
