About the project

We have a unique opportunity for you to join our team in Cloud Services as a Lead Platform Engineer. Your role is to build a next-generation internal developer platform for HSBC - but not just any platform. This is a GitOps-first, Kubernetes-native, controller-driven ecosystem that puts developer experience, scalability, and enterprise-grade governance at the core.

As our Lead Platform Engineer, you’ll take the helm of our Kubernetes architecture, shaping and driving the platform that empowers teams across the bank to ship, scale, and operate software with unprecedented autonomy and compliance. This is your chance to lead the charge on a true Platform-as-Product initiative, with meaningful impact and technical freedom.

Your responsibilities

• Own and evolve our Kubernetes foundation – architecting, deploying, and scaling clusters that run mission-critical workloads.
• Design and implement a controller-based model for self-service capabilities — think CRDs and operators that encapsulate complex banking controls.
• Leverage (or learn) Kubernetes Config Connector (KCC) to orchestrate Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure declaratively, integrating cloud provisioning into the Kubernetes control plane.
• Champion GitOps principles across the platform — declarative everything, automated everywhere.
• Collaborate with security, compliance, and risk teams to bake enterprise governance directly into the platform — balancing agility with control.
• Mentor engineers, shape best practices, and help define our internal platform engineering culture.

Our requirements

• Deep Kubernetes expertise — you understand it inside and out: networking, scheduling, operators, RBAC, controllers, the works.
• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) — or strong interest in learning KCC to bring GCP infra into the K8s paradigm.
• Experience with or strong knowledge of GitOps tooling and practices (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux).
• Solid background in infrastructure as code, automation, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to design and build internal platforms that balance usability with enterprise controls.
• Be a system thinker and strong communicator — able to navigate complexity and lead technical conversations with engineers, architects, and stakeholders
• Exposure to regulated environments — banking, financial services, etc.
