The Problem

Engineering organizations running workloads across public cloud, on-premises systems, and customer networks struggle to provide developers with one reliable deployment workflow. Building that capability requires scarce expertise in Kubernetes architecture, infrastructure automation, security, migrations, and operational reliability, prompting companies to recruit multiple senior infrastructure specialists.

Potential Solution

Deliver a fixed-scope platform launch that assesses the current environment, defines a reference architecture, and implements a secure Kubernetes deployment path across the buyer's required infrastructure. The service includes reusable infrastructure code, deployment templates, observability, security controls, operational runbooks, developer onboarding, and a managed stabilization period. After launch, buyers can retain the operator for platform maintenance, migration waves, and reliability improvements.

Why Now?

Organizations are simultaneously adopting multiple clouds, retaining private infrastructure, and deploying workloads inside restricted customer environments. The signals show demand shifting from basic cloud administration toward unified, API-driven platforms that improve developer speed while meeting security and resilience requirements.

DevOps Infrastructure Engineer
strat-perpsSep 3, 2026

You prepare, deploy and manage Stratio's cloud (compute, networking, storage) and Kubernetes infrastructure and the GitLab CI/CD platform (runners, workers, build agents) that the AI/ML platforms and their pipelines rely on, ensuring capacity, availability and performance. You run our infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code, using tools such as Terraform, Ansible and Kubernetes, and you document every action so findings turn into repeatable actions, and then into automation.

Senior Backend Engineer, Gitlab Delivery: Runway (Platform Engineering)
gitlabSep 3, 2026

As a Senior Engineer on the Runway team, you'll lead the design, evolution, and operation of the Kubernetes-based platform and developer tooling that powers GitLab's engineering organization. You'll drive strategic infrastructure initiatives across platform architecture, automation, and developer experience. That includes operating production Kubernetes clusters across cloud environments, scaling our ArgoCD-based GitOps workflows, and setting infrastructure-as-code practices and standards across teams. You'll mentor engineers, influence architectural decisions, and drive platform improvements that enhance reliability, observability, and security controls like RBAC and secrets management. Your work will establish clear patterns that make it easier for application teams to adopt modern practices and ship with confidence.
