Join our dynamic Enterprise Technology & Performance team as a Manager for Transformation Excellence. This role is pivotal in driving functional excellence and enabling innovation for long-term growth.

The position focuses on managing cluster architecture and delivery across both cloud (AKS) and edge (K3s) restaurant environments, ensuring seamless operations and robust deployment strategies.

Key responsibilities include owning cluster architecture and delivery for cloud and edge restaurant environments.

Responsibilities encompass Edge Deployment Automation (cluster layer) using K3s, Spectro Cloud (Palette), and Flux (GitOps).

You will manage Cloud Containerized App Deployment (AKS cluster operations, Helm/Kustomize) and implement Traffic Routing & Load Balancing with Traefik.

Further duties involve configuring Autoscaling & Load Balancing for edge environments and managing Edge Networking (cluster layer) with Calico CNI.

Crucially, you will oversee Edge Resiliency & Disaster Recovery (cluster layer) leveraging Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, ensuring automated cluster recovery and upgrade rollbacks for sites with intermittent connectivity.

We are seeking a seasoned professional with 7-15 years of hands-on experience.

Essential skills include deep expertise in Edge Deployment Automation, K3s cluster provisioning/lifecycle, fleet management via Spectro Cloud (Palette), and GitOps using Flux for automated rollouts.

Proficiency in Cloud Containerized App Management is required, covering AKS cluster operations (RBAC, node pools) and Helm/Kustomize for consistent app packaging across cloud and edge.

Experience with Traefik for ingress/reverse proxy functions, along with autoscaling and load balancing tuned for constrained hardware, is essential.

A strong understanding of Calico CNI for network policy enforcement and experience with Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes for fleet visibility and governance are critical.

Troubleshooting skills for common Kubernetes issues like CrashLoopBackOff, node-pressure evictions, and CoreDNS failures at scale are also necessary.
