About the role

  • We hold ourselves accountable by providing space for authenticity, growth, and equity for everyone.
  • Relocation assistance is not available for this position.
  • This is a hands-on engineering position where leadership happens through the work.

Responsibilities

  • Build the platform's runtime: implement one container-orchestrated runtime, tenancy-grade isolation between client engagements, and the module contracts every product inherits.
  • Design composable infrastructure as code at fleet scale, with clear input contracts and state boundaries, published as versioned templates and images for every core component.
  • Design identity and network as a federated, credential-free system - one identity per engagement, just-in-time audited privileged access, separate internal and external edges.
  • Build and operate the shared delivery pipelines every product runs through, and the pluggable gate framework that quality, security, and AI-governance checks plug into with block-on-fail enforcement.
  • Implement security and compliance as code: release-blocking scanning on every repository, policy and admission control, signed and attested artifacts, and an audit trail and software bill of materials, including AI components, on every build as SOC2 / ISO 27001 evidence.
  • Make the platform's architecture decisions decidable - multi-tenancy, cloud posture, identity provider, network edge - by building the spikes and proofs of concept behind them and produce the security and reliability evidence the program reports against.
  • Be the engineer other engineers come to on infrastructure, pipelines, and enforcement: review designs and pull requests, write architecture decision records for anything that closes off future options, and raise the bar for vendor partners through the work rather than formal management.
  • Drive adoption of platform standards across product teams, supporting migrations onto the platform where product teams execute and you unblock.
  • Experience building CI/CD as a shared platform (GitHub Actions or equivalent), with reusable workflow contracts, fleet-scale branch protection, and enforced quality and security gates.
  • You will move fluidly between building production infrastructure, implementing multi-tenant isolation, hardening pipeline and policy enforcement, and instrumenting production.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in software engineering, platform or infrastructure engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • Demonstrated experience operating multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms in production: GitOps, network and admission policy, workload identity, tenant isolation.

Nice to have

  • Has built and operated production application software as a software engineer, in at least one of Go, Python, or TypeScript, and is fluent in testing strategy, code review, trunk-based delivery, and release management.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
  • ability to translate complex technical topics to diverse audiences, including engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with Agile methodologies and cross-functional product team collaboration.
  • Willingness to work outside of normal business hours, and in particular as unique projects/needs arise.
  • physically able to sit/stand at a computer and work in front of a computer screen for significant portions of the workday
  • Must become familiar with, and promote and abide by, our Core Values as defined by the AlixPartners' Code of Conduct and foster an inclusive environment with people at all levels of an organization
  • Familiarity with virtual-cluster and control-plane tooling (vcluster, Crossplane) and developer portals (Backstage, Port).

Compensation

  • Employees will also receive a generous paid leave policy including vacation/personal time starting at 7.34 hours per pay period, sick time up to 80 hours annually, parental leave and twelve holidays.

Benefits

  • Demonstrated enthusiasm for developer education - writing internal guides, running workshops, or building internal tooling communities.

Company info

  • Travel is part of this position, but frequency may vary based on client, team, and individual circumstances.
