## Description

Build the platforms that keep KFC restaurant technology reliable, observable, and secure, from cloud services to the Kubernetes clusters, point-of-sale devices, and network equipment in thousands of restaurants. This is a generalist engineering role. You will work across software, edge, cloud, observability, and security engineering, and you will own defined workstreams from design through production. Our guiding principle is that the platform should make safe and secure both easy and default. We solve problems once, in the platform, so they don't become recurring manual work for us or for the teams we support. Where we can, systems should detect and recover from common failures on their own. Self-healing is a platform default, not an afterthought.
