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
Core Responsibilities
* Lead the architecture and design of a multi‑cloud Kubernetes platform
* Set standards for scalability, resilience, security and automation
* Support and guide a team of Kubernetes Engineers
* Act as the senior technical point of contact for platform decisions
* Work closely with leadership on platform strategy and deliveryDrive best practice across platform engineering, DevOps and SRE
* Troubleshoot complex platform and cluster issues
* Define infrastructure as code and deployment standards
* Help shape the long‑term cloud‑native roadmap
* Support the build‑out of a new engineering function in Ireland
Examples of the work
* Designing Kubernetes platforms across AWS, Azure and GCP
* Leading the move to cloud‑native environments
* Supporting engineers with platform design and technical problem‑solving
* Improving reliability, automation and scalability across managed services
* Setting architecture standards for mission‑critical systems
* Building the foundations of a new Dublin‑based platform team
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.
Employee Benefits
* 12.5% annual bonus
* Strong long‑term progression as the Ireland team grows
* High‑impact architecture role with visibility across leadership
* Opportunity to shape a multi‑cloud platform from the ground up
* Mission‑critical engineering environment with real‑world impact
