• Design and implement Crossplane-based automation and GitOps delivery patterns
• Translate requirements into technical designs, implementation tasks and documentation
• Collaborate with architects, Product Owners, security stakeholders and product teams
• Ensure compliance with security, operational, architecture and quality standards
• Create and maintain technical documentation, onboarding material and implementation guidelines
• Support troubleshooting, incident analysis and continuous platform improvement
• Enable product teams to onboard and use the platform effectively
• Provide guidance on GitOps, Crossplane, Kubernetes, ArgoCD and Atlantis-specific patterns

Required Skills:

• Strong experience in platform engineering, cloud engineering, DevOps or site reliability engineering
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native platform technologies
• Practical experience with Crossplane, including compositions, claims, providers or comparable abstraction patterns
• Experience with GitOps concepts and tools, especially ArgoCD and Git-based delivery workflows
• Good knowledge of at least one major cloud provider and its Kubernetes platform: Azure / AKS, AWS / EKS, GCP / GKE
• Programming or scripting experience, preferably with Go and/or Starlark
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and GitLab-based development workflows
• Understanding of security-by-design, least privilege, compliance requirements and secure software delivery
• Ability to write clear technical documentation in Markdown or similar formats
• Experience working in agile product or platform teams
• Strong communication skills in English

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with multi-cloud platform environments
• Knowledge of policy-as-code, governance-as-code or compliance automation
• Experience with operational handbooks, incident processes and production platform operations
• Experience contributing to open-source projects or reusable engineering frameworks
• Understanding of FinOps principles and cost-aware cloud engineering
