Hybrid - 4 days onsite, 1 day from home
We're recruiting for a global software company that's been quietly powering some of the world's most important systems for over 45 years, think healthcare, finance, logistics and government.
Their tech sits at the heart of critical, real‑world applications the kind that can't go down and can't get it wrong. If that sounds like the sort of challenge you're into, you'll fit right it.
The Role
You will lead the design and build of a new multi‑cloud Kubernetes platform supporting mission‑critical managed services and healthcare products.
This is a hands‑on architecture role sitting between senior leadership and a team of Kubernetes Engineers. You will define the platform approach, set technical direction, and support the engineers delivering it.
You will play a key role in a wider move from on‑prem infrastructure to a cloud‑native model across AWS, Azure and GCP.
What They're Looking For
Kubernetes architecture in large‑scale production environments
AWS, Azure and/or GCP platform engineering
Multi‑cloud or hybrid‑cloud platform design
Strong infrastructure or platform engineering background
Experience leading or mentoring engineers
Hands‑on experience with Terraform and Helm
Strong understanding of networking, security and observability in Kubernetes
Background in complex, enterprise environments
Ability to stay hands‑on whilst leading technical direction
What You’ll Work With
EKS / AKS / GKE
Terraform
GitOps workflows
Grafana
Loki
Fluentd / Fluent Bit
RBAC
Secrets management

Why Join?
You will join at an early stage of a major cloud transformation, with the chance to shape the platform rather than inherit it.
This is a key hire in a growing Ireland function, with real ownership across architecture, engineering standards and team direction.
The environment is enterprise‑scale, high‑impact and mission‑critical, where reliability genuinely matters.
