Job Description

Must-Have Technical Skills (Priority Order)

• Kubernetes (VKS / VMware Tanzu) — this is the primary focus. Vanilla Kubernetes experience alone is not sufficient; candidates must have hands-on experience with the VMware flavor (Tanzu) and ideally VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS).
• VMware/vSphere 8 foundational knowledge — the platform sits on NSX networking, so understanding of VMware's network virtualization layer is important. Candidates without any VMware background will be at a disadvantage.
• GitOps mindset — strong GitHub/GitOps experience is essential. The team is rapidly maturing its GitOps practices and treats all infrastructure as code.
• IaC tools — Terraform and Ansible are in active use. Python and Shell scripting are the primary automation languages; YAML fluency is a given in this environment. Not required: Azure Stack Local (no involvement), Pulumi (not in use).

Technical Environment Summary

• Kubernetes delivery is via VKS (VMware Tanzu) — not generic/open-source Kubernetes
• Networking layer is VMware NSX — understanding container networking in this context is important
• CI/CD tooling: GitHub Actions, Flux or Argo CD
• IaC: Terraform, Ansible
• Languages: Python, Shell (mix; no single dominant preference beyond the JD)
• Carvel ecosystem experience is a plus

Role Dynamics

• Primarily heads-down infrastructure work within the infrastructure team
• Occasional collaboration with app teams to advise on Kubernetes best practices (not a heavy collaboration role)
• No involvement with an operations team at a technical coaching level — the ops team is not at the right skill level
