Kubernetes Enablement Platform Engineer

As an EKS Platform Enablement Engineer, you help hundreds of NN engineers build and run their software more easily, safely and efficiently. You don’t just work on a platform, you help people adopt, understand and embrace it.

By enabling teams to use Kubernetes in a smart and scalable way, you directly contribute to NN’s ambition to work more platform-driven. This allows our engineers to focus on what really matters: developing reliable digital products that support millions of customers every day.

What you are going to do

As a Kubernetes Platform Enablement Engineer, you help NN’s engineers to build, deploy and run their applications smoothly on our Kubernetes platforms. You combine hands-on engineering with close collaboration, helping teams understand, adopt and use the platform effectively. By lowering technical barriers and simplifying complexity, your work helps create a scalable and future-proof IT foundation that benefits the entire organisation.

Key responsibilities:

• Enable and support development teams in using Kubernetes for their application, for example, by guiding onboarding, migrations and containerisation efforts
• Act as a point of contact for internal engineers, answering questions, giving advice and actively helping teams adopt platform engineering best practices
• Develop and maintain the Kubernetes App platform to strengthen our ‘Namespace-as-a-Service’ capability, improving usability, security and time-to-market
• Continuously enhance platform reliability, observability and scalability by preventing incidents and ensuring smooth daily operations, this includes participation in an on-call rotation, which you will be compensated for
