Platform Engineer (OpenShift / Kubernetes)

We're partnered with a leading bank to hire a Platform Engineer for their Infrastructure team in Singapore. This role reports directly to the Head of Infrastructure and will be the regional owner for Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms across APAC.

You'll work closely with the global Group engineering team to manage, monitor, and maintain the bank's container platforms, ensuring stability, reliability, and performance across both on-prem and cloud environments.

What You'll Do

• Manage and maintain Kubernetes and OpenShift environments across APAC.
• Configure clusters, namespaces, ports, and ensure proper monitoring is in place.
• Take over day-to-day platform operations from the global team once systems are deployed.
• Support deployments, patches, and troubleshooting for containerized infrastructure.
• Collaborate with HQ and local stakeholders to align with group-wide infra standards.
• Participate in BAU and project initiatives involving platform expansion and improvement.
• Likely to support on-call coverage once the APAC structure is finalized.

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience in Kubernetes and OpenShift administration.
• Background in infrastructure engineering or systems operations (Linux, Wintel, networking).
• Familiar with automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, or scripting in Bash/Python.
• Good understanding of monitoring, routing, and load balancing in container environments.
• Able to troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues across hybrid (on-prem + cloud) setups.
• Independent, reliable, and positive team player who can coordinate across regions.
• Banking experience is not required, but cross-functional exposure in enterprise environments is a plus.
