Your tasks

At i3D.net, we provide world-class global coverage with one of the most interconnected networks in the world. Our solutions focus on low latency, zero packet loss, and unmatched scalability, enabling seamless experiences for millions of users worldwide. With dedicated support, bespoke solutions and cutting-edge technology, we deliver reliable, cost-efficient infrastructure that empowers game developers and businesses to scale effortlessly. Partnering with major names like Nvidia, DuckDuckGo, Discord , and  Ubisoft , we are shaping the future of gaming and network technology.

As a  Senior Platform Engineer (Kubernetes) , you will be crucial in designing, implementing, and maintaining our platform infrastructure, with a primary focus on Kubernetes orchestration and containerization. While Kubernetes will be a key area of focus, you will also work across various middleware and infrastructure technologies. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to enhance our platform’s reliability, scalability, and overall user experience, driving innovation and best practices in the platform engineering domain.

You will support and help lead the architectural design and implementation of our internal Kubernetes cluster (IKS - i3D Kubernetes Service), which we currently use internally and plan to offer to external customers in the future. It’s important to think about the product in a way that makes sure our solutions not only work for today but can also scale and evolve as we grow.

Your Responsibilities

  • Design and Build Platform Features

  • Collaborate on Platform Strategy

    • You’ll work closely with other teams to make sure the platform engineering strategies align with business goals and the overall product roadmap.

  • Ensure Security and Compliance

    • You’ll put security best practices into action and ensure that we’re meeting all relevant standards and regulations to keep our platform safe and sound.

  • Promote DevOps and GitOps Practices
