THE OPPORTUNITY

Are you passionate about platform engineering and eager to experiment with different approaches to building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)? Do you have hands-on experience with cloud-based environments, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and infrastructure orchestration? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re seeking a Freelance Cloud Solutions Architect to develop cutting-edge cloud-based lab environments for our Platform Engineering Course. These labs will give students hands-on exposure to different IDP architectures, from open-source pipeline-based setups to proprietary graph-based solutions.

• Design and deploy cloud-based development environments using Coder, ensuring seamless GitHub authentication and a fully isolated Kubernetes cluster per student.
• Build practical, real-world scenarios showcasing multiple IDP approaches, including open-source pipeline-based solutions (ArgoCD, Crossplane, Backstage) and proprietary graph-based platforms (Humanitec).
• Guarantee that each lab environment is isolated, browser-accessible, and available for at least 12 weeks per cohort.
• Create step-by-step guides and repositories that empower students to explore and recreate different IDP configurations.
• Work closely with our team to refine and optimize the labs based on student feedback and course objectives.
