Staff Infrastructure Engineer - Netwrix Data and Platform Group

Netwrix Corporation

About The Position

We are building a cutting-edge Platform that will transform the way our customers identify, protect and govern their data. This will revolutionize how customers secure their data by placing identity at the core – providing unparalleled visibility and control. We are seeking a Staff Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in infrastructure and platform engineering to own and evolve the on-premises deployment model of our next-generation data security platform. This role focuses on Kubernetes-based infrastructure, installers, packaging, and upgrade workflows — ensuring the product can be reliably installed, operated, and supported in complex enterprise customer environments. You will define standards and best practices for on-prem deployments, working closely with application engineering, security, DevOps, and Support teams to ensure operational excellence from day one. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, with a strong emphasis on ownership, architecture, and real-world operability.

Requirements

8+ years of professional experience in software engineering, infrastructure engineering, or platform engineering.
Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes, particularly in on-prem or self-managed environments.
Strong understanding of Linux systems, containers, and runtime environments.
Experience building and maintaining installers and deployment tooling (e.g. Helm, shell scripts, custom packaging).
Proven experience designing upgrade and migration paths for enterprise software.
Familiarity with dependency management and versioning in controlled environments.
Experience supporting software deployed into enterprise customer environments.
Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, networking, and application layers.
Ability to balance engineering design with real-world operational constraints.

Nice To Haves

Experience with air-gapped or restricted environments.
Knowledge of Kubernetes storage (CSI drivers), networking (CNI, ingress), and security hardening.
Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Helm, Terraform, etc.).
Experience supporting compliance-driven or regulated customer environments.

Responsibilities

Design, own, and evolve the on-prem Kubernetes architecture used to deploy the Netwrix platform.
Define best practices for cluster layout, networking, storage, security, and lifecycle management.
Support self-managed Kubernetes environments across a wide range of customer infrastructure setups.
Diagnose and resolve complex platform-level issues spanning Kubernetes, networking, storage, and application layers.
Own the design and implementation of the product installer and deployment tooling (e.g. Helm charts, custom installers, scripts).
Define packaging and dependency management strategies for on-prem environments.
Design and maintain reliable upgrade, rollback, and migration workflows with minimal customer downtime.
Improve installation validation, pre-flight checks, and post-install verification to reduce support burden.
Establish standards for logging, monitoring, diagnostics, and supportability in customer-managed environments.
Partner with Support and Customer Success to improve troubleshooting workflows and reduce deployment-related incidents.
Ensure on-prem installations are secure, observable, and operationally mature.
Act as the technical authority for on-prem infrastructure and deployment concerns.
Review and influence architectural decisions that impact platform operability and reliability.
Mentor engineers on Kubernetes, infrastructure design, and operational best practices.
Drive improvements in documentation, runbooks, and operational readiness across the organization.
