Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineer


Why this job matters

Our ambition is to become the world’s most trusted connector of people, devices, and machines. BT Networks plays a key role in this ambition, and many of our core network features and functions are moving to cloud, taking advantage of the scalability, flexibility, and collaborative benefits of cloud. Kubernetes is a key component of our strategy in this area.


What you’ll be doing:

Designing, building, and defining the future of Kubernetes clusters on the dedicated, high-performance hardware that underpins the EE mobile network.

If you have a background in building on-prem Kubernetes with experience in IP networking, routing, switching and firewalls, we want to hear from you. SDN, DPDK, SR-IOV experience is a plus.

You will join a small team, focused on building a managed Kubernetes Cluster as a Service platform, so what makes this stand out? Do you want to deploy a new CNI? – lets run a PoC. What about a bare metal cluster on hardware with brand new CPUs? – spin it up and run some tests. We are future focused, and want to build the best platform possible, with the best open source technology and the best people.

Design and development: Working closely with an agile development team of Kubernetes engineers to co-design and develop a Kubernetes managed service for telco functions within a high security private cloud environment.

Automation: Automating cluster deployment, scaling, and management using infrastructure as code (IaC) and container orchestration tools. Collaborating with development teams on infrastructure deployment best practices, encompassing CI/CD pipelines and related frameworks such as Terraform, Jenkins, and Ansible.

Operations: Utilising a DevOps approach, providing documentation and incident escalation support to operations teams to facilitate brilliant in life service and incident management of the Kubernetes managed service.

Integration: Building a deep understanding of varied software spanning security, logging, monitoring, cloud infrastructure, networks, and how best to integrate these into a cohesive platform solution.

Innovation and Evaluation: Contributing to the exploration of cutting-edge technologies through the deployment of new technology proof-of-concept projects related to Kubernetes, participation in their assessment, and development into an in-life service.


The skills you’ll need

  • Communication: Adept communicator facilitating effective collaboration within and across engineering and delivery teams, with a demonstrated ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Cloud engineering: Proficient in developing Terraform, Ansible, and Python in a cloud environment with an emphasis on developing robust, scalable, and maintainable infrastructure.
  • Networking: Working knowledge of IP networking, routing, switching, and firewall principles and protocols. Experience with SDN, DPDK and SR-IOV would be a plus.
  • Security tools and practices: Configuration of PKI, certificates, HashiCorp Vault, and software supply chain security, in the context of cloud and Kubernetes environments.
  • CI/CD: Expertise in integrating with a GitOps workflow, employing infrastructure as code (IaC) best practices. Proficient in implementing CI/CD pipelines to ensure consistent, automated deployments.


Experience you’ll have

  • 5+ years’ experience of IT with a focus on engineering
  • 3+ years Kubernetes experience, at least 1 year managing Kubernetes infrastructure
  • Private cloud (particularly OpenStack) experience desirable but not essential
  • Development experience with, but not limited to Terraform, Ansible, Python, Golang
  • Have worked with Ubuntu Linux on virtual and physical server
