• Work with a team of highly experienced engineers to design, build, and operate a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform
• Drive the architecture and evolution of secure, isolated, and scalable multi-tenant Kubernetes environments, ensuring strong workload separation and resource governance
• Contribute to cluster architecture, tenant isolation, and platform reliability improvements
• Build and maintain scalable and highly available infrastructure on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
• Improve platform observability using OpenTelemetry (logs/traces) and VictoriaMetrics (metrics)
• Implement and evolve networking solutions using Gateway API and Istio Ambient Mesh
• Enforce platform security and governance using Kyverno policies
• Work with GitOps-based deployment workflows using Flux, ensuring declarative, version-controlled platform and workload management
• Work closely with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
• Participate in on-call rotations and operational excellence initiatives
• Build iteratively in an agile environment

What You’ll Need

• 1–4 years of software engineering experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (multi-tenant environments preferred)
• Good understanding of cloud-native infrastructure and distributed systems
• Experience with observability, networking, or platform engineering concepts
• Strong fundamentals in software engineering and system design
• Ability to communicate effectively in English

Nice to Have

• Experience with Go or TypeScript
• Interest in building AI agents or automation tooling for platform operations
• Passion for large-scale distributed systems and platform engineering

What we offer

• A competitive compensation package

• Additional local benefits tailored to your location

Meet your team

We’re the Kubernetes as a Platform (KaaP) team within Platform Engineering. We build and run a secure, scalable Kubernetes platform on Azure that supports teams across TomTom.

Our role is to make it easy for engineers to run their applications reliably. We provide a self-service platform with strong isolation, observability and governance, so teams can focus on building products, not managing infrastructure. Joining our team, you’ll work on the foundation that powers how engineering teams build, deploy and scale software across TomTom.

At TomTom, you’ll help people find their way in the world by contributing to the first-ever real-time map. Work with a team of 3,300+ unique, curious and passionate problem-solvers to help people understand and get closer to the world around them.
