• Own and lead the design, build, maintenance and support of the Private Cloud Kubernetes platform, ensuring it meets availability, security, scalability and operational requirements.

• Define and implement platform engineering standards, patterns and guardrails for Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, automation, observability and secrets management.

• Lead complex integration of the Kubernetes platform with on-premises infrastructure, management tooling, CI/CD pipelines, security controls and low-latency exchange environments.

• Drive delivery of reusable core platform services consumed across the LME infrastructure, including development environments, secrets management, monitoring, logging and deployment workflows.

• Provide hands-on technical leadership for production changes, incident response and problem resolution, including out-of-hours support for the Private Cloud environment when required.

• Guide application teams in designing, deploying and operating workloads on the Private Cloud platform, improving developer experience and production readiness.

• Review and approve technical designs, configuration and code changes for non-production and production environments, including critical low-latency exchange platforms.

• Minimum 10 years’ relevant experience in DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure automation or production infrastructure roles, including experience in enterprise or business-critical environments.

• Minimum 5 years’ hands-on experience deploying, managing and supporting Kubernetes clusters and container platforms, preferably including Red Hat OpenShift.

• Strong understanding of on-premises infrastructure.

• Deep practical experience with infrastructure as code, automation and configuration management tools such as Terraform, Ansible and Helm.

• Broad knowledge of application architecture and associated services, including DNS, load balancing, high availability, multi-site deployments, security tooling and observability.

• Proven ability to lead complex technical delivery, assess conceptual alternatives, make sound engineering decisions, and influence stakeholders without relying solely on formal authority.

• Experience operating production platforms with disciplined change management, incident management, risk awareness and strong documentation practices.
