Key skills for this role
As Kubernetes and Container Platform Security Specialist you own the security of Verda's Kubernetes offering: multi-node and single-node clusters, the container registry, and the credentials that reach it. The workloads running on it are not ours, the tenants do not trust each other, and the boundary between them is what customers are paying for. That is a different problem from securing your own cluster, and it is the centre of this role.
This is a securing role rather than a platform engineering one. You would not run the clusters or carry the platform on-call rota. The platform team operates and implements, and you define the security standard and verify what ships against it.
Cash and equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, and more).
Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.
40+ nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.
A real chance to make an impact and work alongside world class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.
