IBM Cloud Kubernetes Platform Engineer

Introduction

As IBM Cloud has been standardizing on Kubernetes and containerized software, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS) has become the backbone of IBM Cloud. As customers are moving more and more workload into Kubernetes and OpenShift environments, the platform is rapidly growing, it is the fastest growing area in IBM Cloud right now. Our team is working together with RedHat on the seamless integration of Red Hat products into our managed services on IBM Cloud in many areas, like OpenShift or Red Hat AI. As we are large consumers of open technologies, we regularly contribute back to the relevant open-source projects in the containerization space.

The same team also has members who are planning, building and running IKS for both IBM internal teams as well as external customers. Just to take a few, we are running the Watson AI platform, BNPP, Maersk, Car2go, American Airlines, etc.
