Kubernetes Platform Engineering Lead (Kraków / hybrid)

Hello,
We are called People More because we treat our employees with respect, but also because the projects we work on are for people and should be easy and pleasant to use. We are technological, but we look at the bigger picture :)
The company is made up of people with a huge client base in the country and abroad, for whom we build projects from scratch (UX, UI, frontend, backend, mobile) or in part. We work directly for our clients and also support our partners in their own solutions. This ensures a wide range of projects and the ability to change! We work with clients all over the world.
For the project that we are working on with our partner, we are looking for Kubernetes Platform Engineering  Lead (Kraków / hybrid).

Your duties will include: 

• Own end-to-end engineering and lifecycle management of the Kubernetes platform.
• Build automation, APIs and tooling for infrastructure and platform services.
• Improve platform reliability, performance and cluster/service upgrade processes.
• Monitor resource utilization and support capacity planning.
• Develop dashboards, monitoring and self-healing solutions.
• Support multiple software development teams using the platform.
• Participate in platform architecture, system design and infrastructure planning.
• Lead and support a local team of approximately 5 engineers.
• Coordinate workloads with the Global Engineering Team Lead.
• Participate in infrastructure changes outside standard business hours when required.

Requirements that must be met:

• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of Linux, containers and Kubernetes infrastructure.
• Experience with Kubernetes-native technologies such as Istio, Cilium and CSI solutions.
• Experience building infrastructure automation, APIs and CI/CD pipelines.
• Scripting/programming experience with Bash and Python or Golang.
• Experience with Jenkins and Ansible / Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
• Experience with observability tools such as Splunk and Datadog.
• Experience with infrastructure lifecycle management and GitHub-based development workflows.
• Experience leading or coordinating an engineering/platform team.
• Very good English and Polish
• Ability to work from the Kraków office 2–3 days per week

What we offer:

• We are open and honest and we solve problems instead of generating them.
• Maybe it’s obvious, but we really respect our employees and associates. We used to be software developers, too, and we appreciate that job!
• A small team
• An international working environment and international projects
• Private medical care
• Sports card
• Training courses
• Kraków – hybrid work (2–3 days onsite per week)

Why it’s a good idea to work with People More?

• If you are not satisfied with your work or your tasks, we’ll find a way out together!
• If you get bored, we will offer you a new product and new, fascinating tasks
• We will work on your brand together: you will get an opportunity to attend conferences, including as a speaker, and we will help you publish in recognized magazines and online
• We will facilitate your access to challenges that are usually difficult to get
• At any time, you can talk directly to the board of People More—we talk your language because the company’s founders are software developers and designers!

What does the recruitment process look like?

• A friendly remote initial interview
• A remote technical talk
• The decision to work together!
