It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

Our Global Platform Engineering Solutions team builds custom integration solutions with our clients and automates the build of the main Kraken Customer application.

As an engineer on this team you’ll design, build and maintain the build process for new client environments as well as providing custom solutions to clients to ensure networking, regulatory, data safety, and other requirements are met.

What You'll Do

Collaborate with clients and product teams to support client use cases and integrations

Provide production support for highly-available, internet-facing systems

Improve CI/CD pipelines (we use CircleCI), and deployment tooling

Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using ArgoCD

Manage and operate Kubernetes-based environments - we use EKS

Collaborate with a global, remote-first team using asynchronous communication

Contribute to code reviews, troubleshooting, and technology evaluations

What You'll Have

Proficient using AWS; we use a lot of different AWS services and not just the standard few
Docker and Kubernetes; we use Amazon EKS in production
Terraform, or a similar infrastructure-as-code tool
Software development experience in Python and Django (or equiv. Web framework)
Experience with using Linux
Previous experience working in small, highly-autonomous teams
Good communication, with a focus on doing this asynchronously across multiple timezones and countries

What Will Help

Experience with event driven systems (e.g. AWS EventBridge)
Experience working on SaaS platforms, including engaging product teams to ensure up-skilling and knowledge sharing across teams

Proactive, problem-solving orientation with an interest in continual improvement

Prior experience in globally distributed, follow-the-sun teams
