In this role, you will be responsible for building and maintaining cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and observability solutions. You will work closely with development, security, and architecture teams to improve automation, reliability, scalability, and operational excellence across our IAM landscape.
You will join a team that operates mission-critical IAM services, including internally developed microservices and open-source applications running on containerized platforms.

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Strong hands-on experience with container platforms, particularly Kubernetes.
Experience working with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, including services such as EKS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, and S3.
Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably using Terraform.
Proficiency in one or more scripting or programming languages such as Python, PowerShell, TypeScript, or Ruby.
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and observability solutions, including tools such as Grafana, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry.
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in distributed systems environments.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in international and cross-functional teams.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
