Platform Engineer

Platform Engineer (Kubernetes / Terraform)

A leading organisation in the financial services sector is seeking an experienced Platform Engineer to help design, build, and operate modern cloud infrastructure. This is a permanent, full-time role with a primarily remote working model, alongside occasional on-site collaboration in Co. Kerry.

This position focuses on building platforms from the ground up, enabling engineering teams to deliver quickly and safely without infrastructure bottlenecks. The environment is fully cloud-native, with a strong emphasis on Infrastructure as Code, automation, and self-service tooling.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters (GKE/AKS) from scratch using Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps practices (ArgoCD)
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application delivery
• Implement monitoring and alerting using Prometheus and Grafana
• Automate infrastructure and workflows using scripting and programming languages (e.g. Bash, Python, Go)
• Contribute to documentation, platform tooling, and shared operational responsibilities

Essential Experience

• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform (writing modules, not just consuming them)
• Proven experience building and running Kubernetes platforms from scratch in production
• Solid background in GCP and/or Azure
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab)
• Experience with monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana
• Proficiency in scripting (Bash) and at least one programming language (Python, Go, or similar)

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Mostly remote working with occasional travel to Kerry
• Opportunity to build and shape modern cloud platforms from the ground up
• Support for ongoing learning and certifications
