Description

Sigma Defense is seeking a Senior Kubernetes Infrastructure Developer to be a Kubernetes platform engineer and infrastructure developer, not simply a user of Kubernetes.

This individual should understand what is happening beneath the application layer and be comfortable taking technical ownership from the Azure infrastructure and network supporting the cluster through AKS configuration, networking, identity, security, deployment automation, observability, and lifecycle management. The ideal candidate believes Kubernetes infrastructure should be built through code, version controlled, automated, repeatable, secure, and recoverable.

Equal Opportunity Employer/Veterans/Disabled: Sigma Defense Systems is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran status and will not be discriminated against on the basis of disability.
