Wat ga je doen?

We are seeking a highly skilled and passionate Senior Kubernetes Engineer to join our cutting-edge Platform Engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to make significant contributions to managing and evolving our sophisticated internal Kubernetes-as-a-Service (KaaS) offering. You will be instrumental in shaping the foundation of our application infrastructure, enabling our development teams to build and deploy services with speed, reliability, and scale. If you thrive on tackling complex technical challenges and want to make a substantial impact on a large-scale platform, this role is for you.

Your new team and office
You will be working within the KaaS team, a team that has been around for more than 2 years and is constantly working on building and improving our KaaS platform to be more user-friendly and faster for our developers, while also making it easier to maintain for us! We aim to accelerate all development teams within TechNL (Albert Heijn, Etos and Gall&Gall), so they can focus on what they do best, delivering high-quality customer value as fast as possible!

Our KaaS team is part of our Engineering Enablement Department. This department has a purpose to accelerate our teams worldwide.  We strive to provide teams with a set of tools and services to enable them to unlock their full potential. In short, we enable them to deliver quality customer value quickly and autonomously. Our tools and services are built with and for our engineering community.   

Our KaaS platform has been built and is in production, but improvements are needed to improve scale and reliability. You won’t do this alone but with your team of 7 platform engineers. As the senior of your team it is up to you to coach and guide them in their performance.  

This is how you will reinvent Food Retail 

  • Design and Architecture: Contribute significantly to the design and architecture of robust, scalable, and secure Kubernetes clusters.
  • Build and Implement: Actively participate in the implementation and automation of Kubernetes cluster provisioning, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
  • Maintain and Operate: Ensure the high availability, performance, and reliability of our production Kubernetes environments, including proactive monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response.
  • Evolve KaaS Offering: Continuously improve our Kubernetes-as-a-Service platform by identifying and implementing new features, tools, and best practices in collaboration with the team.
  • Security and Compliance: Implement and enforce security best practices for Kubernetes, ensuring compliance with industry standards and internal policies. For example, multi cloud.
  • Collaboration and Support: Work closely with development teams to onboard their applications onto the KaaS platform, providing expert guidance and support on Kubernetes-related matters.
  • Automation: Contribute to automation initiatives for all aspects of Kubernetes operations, leveraging infrastructure-as-code principles.
  • Documentation: Maintain comprehensive documentation for our Kubernetes platform, configurations, and operational procedures.
     

The right ingredients to make impact:

  • Extensive Kubernetes Expertise: Senior-level (5+ years) hands-on experience in designing, building, and maintaining Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
  • Large-Scale Operations: Proven track record of running and managing Kubernetes at medium to large scale, understanding the challenges and solutions involved.
  • Deep Architectural Knowledge: Strong understanding of Kubernetes core concepts, architecture, including control plane, data plane, networking (e.g., CNI, service mesh), and storage.
  • Platform Engineering Proficiency: Demonstrated understanding of platform engineering principles and best practices, with experience in building and maintaining developer-centric platforms.
  • Kubernetes Security: In-depth knowledge of Kubernetes security principles, including RBAC, network policies, pod security policies/standards, and secrets management.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code: Proficient with IaC tools and practices.
  • CI/CD Experience: Experience with CI/CD pipelines and their integration with Kubernetes deployments.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues in distributed systems.
  • Communication: Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Bonus Points

While deep Kubernetes knowledge is paramount, experience with the following technologies in our stack is a significant advantage:

  • Cloud Provider: Microsoft Azure (AKS, and other Azure services)
  • Infrastructure as Code: Pulumi
  • Programming/Scripting: TypeScript
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions
  • Experience with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, LGTM stack).

  The recipe for maximum impact:

  • An excellent salary including holiday allowance and a flexible bonus. Depending on your level of seniority and experience;   
  • A minimum of 20 days paid vacation, optionally 12.5 days extra. Do you want to take that extra time off, or would you rather convert the extra days into discounts or sell them for cash?
  • Flexible working hours;  1 or 2 office days per week.
  • Access to a challenging training curriculum – AH Tech Academy;  
  • An excellent pension plan where we as an employer contribute 4.5 more than you as an employee;   
  • A travel allowance or a NS-business card for traveling to and from Zaandam by train;  
  • Attractive discounts on various insurance policies;  
  • 10% staff discount on groceries in all Albert Heijn stores, to a maximum of €300 per year;  
  • A free Mijn Albert Heijn Premium membership with many benefits;
  • A company laptop and telephone. 

We’re Albert Heijn, food retail reinventors.🚀  

Albert Heijn goes way back. More than 135 years, to be exact. So for millions of people, food shopping is synonymous with the Albert Heijn brand. We didn’t achieve this with a complacent, ‘hey, if it works today, it’ll work tomorrow’ approach, but by continually rethinking our propositions and staying plugged in to customer demands. More than 125,000 colleagues? Check. Over 1,250 stores in the Netherlands and Flanders? Check. The leading online food retail platform? Check, we build, run and love it.    
  
Together we make eating better the easy choice. For everyone.  
The world around us has changed, and significantly at that. These changes have impact on the lives of our customers, colleagues and partners. And therefore, also on Albert Heijn. We’re moving towards a new world with new opportunities and challenges. Albert Heijn wants more people to eat fresher, healthier and more sustainable food.

Curious about your colleagues? At AH Technology you work with the best experts in the field. In an open environment, where expertise is valued, where we learn from each other and have the freedom to innovate. We work in a hybrid way, where we meet (on average) 2 days at the office in Zaandam, what is close to the train station, and 8 min from Amsterdam ;-).  Albert Heijn the Netherlands is B Corp certified. This underscores our purpose, through which we aim to contribute to a healthier, more social, and sustainable society. B Corp certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability and transparency.
