“This is a deployment lead’s job. The bar is production Kubernetes and Helm.”
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Have administered large-scale production Kubernetes clusters
- Like deploying enterprise software into a customer’s private or hybrid cloud
- Like fixing a failed rollout with the customer’s IT team
Think twice if you
- Haven’t run production Kubernetes
- Don’t hold active DV clearance
- Don’t want regular time at customer sites
What you’d do
- Plan, configure, test and carry out each rollout.
- Work with the customer’s IT team on infrastructure, security and how data is handled.
- Fit the deployment to that customer’s privacy and security rules.
- Find deployment failures and fix them so the system stays available.
What they ask for
- You’ve deployed enterprise software into private or hybrid cloud environments.
- You’ve administered large-scale production Kubernetes clusters with Helm.
- You’re strong with Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, including networking, virtualization, CI/CD and Git.
- Cohere has a strong preference for someone who already holds active DV clearance.
How it works
- You can work from Cohere’s London office.
- You’d spend 20% to 40% of your time at customer sites.
