Learn more at www.k1x.io  About the Role  We are looking for a Platform & Infrastructure Engineer to join a small, remote team responsible for building and maintaining the tools, processes, networking patterns, and standards that our engineering teams rely on. You will own Azure-based infrastructure — with a heavy emphasis on Azure Kubernetes Service — and work cross-functionally with product engineering teams to introduce changes, define standards, and understand their evolving needs.  This is a hands-on technical role for someone who is self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and passionate about enabling other engineers to move faster and more safely. You will design and maintain infrastructure that scales, enforces security and compliance patterns, and brings consistency to how engineering is practiced across the organization.   You believe the best solution is often the simplest one — you look to reduce complexity before reaching for something new, and you know that taking time to do things right is usually the fastest way forward.
