- Expertise in automation and Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, Bicep, ARM, etc.).
- Experience using AI‑assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Azure OpenAI, or similar) to improve automation, troubleshooting, and enhance engineering workflows.
- Experience operating or supporting shared platform services—such as shared Kubernetes clusters, CI/CD systems, observability platforms, or security/risk tooling.
- Strong understanding of networking and security concepts.
- Experience with Identity and Access Management (Azure AD, RBAC, workload identity).
- Proficiency with cloud networking infrastructure and distributed system patterns.
- Hands‑on experience with API gateways and cloud‑based architectures.
- Strong system administration background.
- Scripting/programming proficiency (PowerShell, Bash, Python, etc.).
- Experience with containers and Kubernetes (AKS experience is an asset).
Responsibilities
- Design the AKS cluster model for the Canadian segment.
- Implement improvements to existing infrastructure with zero disruption to business operations.
- Build an integrated end‑to‑end experience for application development teams by combining the AKS clusters owned by our team with capabilities delivered by partner teams—including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, logging, risk controls, and security services.
- Automate cluster maintenance tasks, operational workflows, and routine processes using Infrastructure‑as‑Code and AI‑assisted tooling.
- Continuously find opportunities to reduce manual effort, improve reliability, and enhance deployment efficiency.
- Ensure compliance with enterprise risk and security standards across cluster design, operations, and governance.
- Monitor and maintain the health, performance, scalability, and security of AKS clusters.
- Partner with application development teams to ensure the shared cluster model meets both business and technical needs.
- Work closely with capability‑owner teams (pipelines, observability, risk, security, etc.) to align standards, integrate services, and deliver a cohesive platform experience.
