Job description

Position Overview  

We are building a cutting-edge Platform that will transform the way our customers identify, protect and govern their data. This will revolutionize how customers secure their data by placing identity at the core – providing unparalleled visibility and control.   

We are seeking a Staff Infrastructure Engineer with deep expertise in infrastructure and platform engineering to own and evolve the on-premises deployment model of our next-generation data security platform. 

This role focuses on Kubernetes-based infrastructure, installers, packaging, and upgrade workflows — ensuring the product can be reliably installed, operated, and supported in complex enterprise customer environments. You will define standards and best practices for on-prem deployments, working closely with application engineering, security, DevOps, and Support teams to ensure operational excellence from day one. 

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, with a strong emphasis on ownership, architecture, and real-world operability. 

Key Responsibilities  

Kubernetes & Platform Infrastructure 

• Design, own, and evolve the on-prem Kubernetes architecture used to deploy the Netwrix platform. 
• Define best practices for cluster layout, networking, storage, security, and lifecycle management. 
• Support self-managed Kubernetes environments across a wide range of customer infrastructure setups. 
• Diagnose and resolve complex platform-level issues spanning Kubernetes, networking, storage, and application layers. 

Installer, Packaging & Deployment 

• Own the design and implementation of the product installer and deployment tooling (e.g. Helm charts, custom installers, scripts). 
• Define packaging and dependency management strategies for on-prem environments. 
• Design and maintain reliable upgrade, rollback, and migration workflows with minimal customer downtime. 
• Improve installation validation, pre-flight checks, and post-install verification to reduce support burden. 

Platform Reliability & Operability 

• Establish standards for logging, monitoring, diagnostics, and supportability in customer-managed environments. 
• Partner with Support and Customer Success to improve troubleshooting workflows and reduce deployment-related incidents. 
• Ensure on-prem installations are secure, observable, and operationally mature. 

Technical Leadership & Standards 

• Act as the technical authority for on-prem infrastructure and deployment concerns. 
• Review and influence architectural decisions that impact platform operability and reliability. 
• Mentor engineers on Kubernetes, infrastructure design, and operational best practices. 
• Drive improvements in documentation, runbooks, and operational readiness across the organization. 

Qualifications  

Infrastructure & Kubernetes Expertise 

• 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering, infrastructure engineering, or platform engineering. 
• Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes, particularly in on-prem or self-managed environments. 
• Strong understanding of Linux systems, containers, and runtime environments. 

Deployment & Packaging 

• Experience building and maintaining installers and deployment tooling (e.g. Helm, shell scripts, custom packaging). 
• Proven experience designing upgrade and migration paths for enterprise software. 
• Familiarity with dependency management and versioning in controlled environments. 

Enterprise & Operational Experience 

• Experience supporting software deployed into enterprise customer environments. 
• Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, networking, and application layers. 
• Ability to balance engineering design with real-world operational constraints. 

Preferred Qualifications  

• Experience with air-gapped or restricted environments. 
• Knowledge of Kubernetes storage (CSI drivers), networking (CNI, ingress), and security hardening. 
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools (Helm, Terraform, etc.). 
• Experience supporting compliance-driven or regulated customer environments.
