ABOUT THE TEAM

Working with a group of highly skilled platform engineers, this role is all about engineering and maturing the global Worldpay Kubernetes/OpenShift compute platform and beyond.
Within our “Platform Team” at Worldpay, we are building, releasing and operating technology products and services to support an elastically scalable and fault tolerant platform running Kubernetes with OpenShift at scale.
We are planning to grow our team and are looking for experts in running Kafka and database solutions on Kubernetes runtime and beyond.

To succeed in this position, you’ll require strong technical competence in messaging solutions and database persistence space, experience in the Kubernetes and in 24/7 operations, plus you’ll have managed (or better, automated) production deployments and really understand what it means to “ship”. That said, technology is a means and not an end for you; the people and systems you affect and interact with matter the most. You care about the tools used to get the job done, but they don’t define you. You love to solve new problems and thrive in a rapidly innovating and changing space.
