Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer & Technical Lead

Are you passionate about building and operating Kubernetes platforms at scale? Do you enjoy diving deep into complex technical challenges, from low-level troubleshooting to platform architecture? And are you someone who enjoys taking ownership, driving technical excellence and helping other engineers grow? If so, we are looking for you!

As a hands-on Kubernetes Platform Engineer with technical leadership responsibilities, you will own the design, operation and continuous improvement of our enterprise Kubernetes platform, which supports mission-critical financial services in a PCI DSS-regulated environment.

This role combines deep technical expertise with technical leadership. Whether you are tracing a production incident down to the kernel, shaping the platform architecture or mentoring fellow engineers, you will have the opportunity to make a real impact. Working closely with development, security and infrastructure teams, you will help ensure that our platform is reliable, secure and a great foundation for building software. The position is available immediately or by mutual agreement.

• Design, operate and evolve Rancher-managed RKE2 clusters: provisioning, upgrades, capacity planning, troubleshooting and lifecycle management.
• Automate infrastructure and application delivery with Terraform, Helm, Argo CD and GitOps practices.
• Engineer core platform services: networking, ingress, storage, secrets management, observability and disaster recovery.
• Build and improve observability with Dynatrace, Splunk, but also Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Loki, Tempo and OpenTelemetry.
• Lead the response to complex production incidents across Kubernetes, Linux and storage, with a focus on root-cause analysis and long-term fixes rather than workarounds.
• Provide technical leadership, architectural guidance and mentoring to colleagues.

• Several years of hands-on experience running Kubernetes in production, ideally RKE2 and Rancher or a comparable enterprise distribution.
• Knowledge of SRE principles and strong GitOps and infrastructure-as-code skills (Terraform, Helm, Argo CD).
• Solid Linux, networking and storage troubleshooting skills.
• Practical experience with Kubernetes security and modern observability.
• Experience working in a regulated environment, or the willingness and discipline to work in one.
• Fluent English. German and Italian is a plus.

At Viseca you will work in a dynamic and creative environment with good development opportunities. We maintain an open and uncomplicated culture and offer our employees extensive decision-making powers in addition to a thorough introduction, home office possibility, attractive employment conditions and progressive fringe benefits.
