Job Description

At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.

YOUR CHALLENGE

Design, implement, and maintain production-grade Kubernetes platforms across hybrid environments (on-prem and public cloud)

Ensure high availability, performance, scalability, and security of Kubernetes clusters and associated services

Collaborate closely with development teams to guide and support their adoption of cloud-native technologies and CI/CD integration

Drive automation of operational workflows including provisioning, patching, monitoring, logging, and incident response

Contribute to architectural decisions, disaster recovery planning, capacity management, and cost optimisation

Stay current with emerging trends in cloud-native technology and bring innovative yet practical solutions to real-world challenges

YOUR PROFILE

Proven hands-on experience as a Kubernetes engineer or platform operator in enterprise-scale environments

Strong technical proficiency with Kubernetes, including deep understanding of control plane components, networking (CNI), storage (CSI), service mesh concepts, and operators

Demonstrable experience administering Kubernetes using either open-source distributions or managed offerings such as AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) or VMware Tanzu – experience with either is a strong plus

Solid scripting and automation skills using languages such as Bash, Python, and Go, along with proficiency in configuration formats like YAML/JSON; familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Ansible, Helm, Crossplane)

Experience with Kubernetes Operators / Crossplane Providers development in Golang is an advantage

Operational experience with Linux systems, container runtimes (containerd, CRI-O), and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk)

Security-first mindset — prior work implementing CIS benchmarks, runtime protection, image scanning, or achieving compliance is desirable

Holders of Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) certification are strongly preferred; Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) is considered a significant advantage

Excellent communication skills and ability to mentor engineers across multiple teams in a matrixed organisation

Growth mindset — eager to learn, share knowledge, and contribute to continuous improvement in a dynamic environment

Ability to operate independently with a structured, results-driven approach while thriving in a team-oriented setting
