inform and improve future initiatives.\n\nKubernetes platform and enablers\nCollaborate with Platform Tech Leads to define the target architecture for on-premises (RKE2/VMware) and cloud (EKS, AKS) Kubernetes clusters and their interconnectivity.\n\nPromote automation (IaC/GitOps) and scalability of Kubernetes clusters while addressing regional operational requirements.\n\nActively participate in defining and executing the workload migration strategy from on-premises environments to AWS, contributing to the design of cloud-native architectures, deployment patterns and scalable operating models.\n\nContribute to the evolution of our observability platform, driving the adoption of OpenTelemetry as the standard for metrics, logs and traces instrumentation.\n\nPlatform governance, solutions and expertise\nReview and improve existing Kubernetes platform governance processes, both on-premises and with hyperscalers, managing those procedures with the global architecture team.\n\nProvide expert knowledge and support to senior leadership on high-impact Kubernetes platform initiatives, including new container technologies, issues resolution and cost optimisation for large-scale clusters.\n\nPartner with network and virtualization (VMware) architects to support enterprise-wide transformation program.\n\nTransformation\nChampion DevOps culture and drive continuous
