Kubernetes and Container Platform Security Specialist
We are seeking a Kubernetes and Container Platform Security Specialist to strengthen the security, resilience, and compliance of modern containerised environments. In this role, you will help design, implement, and maintain secure Kubernetes platforms across development, testing, and production environments. You will work closely with cloud, infrastructure, software engineering, and security teams to embed effective controls throughout the container lifecycle, from image creation and deployment to runtime monitoring and incident response.
Your responsibilities will include defining and enforcing Kubernetes security standards, hardening clusters and container hosts, managing role-based access controls, and improving network policies, secrets management, admission controls, and workload isolation. You will assess container images and configurations for vulnerabilities, support the remediation of security findings, and develop secure patterns for CI/CD pipelines, registries, and infrastructure as code. You will also monitor platform activity, investigate suspicious behaviour, contribute to threat modelling, and support the response to security incidents affecting containerised workloads.
The successful candidate will have strong practical experience securing Kubernetes and container platforms, with knowledge of Docker or comparable technologies, cloud security principles, Linux administration, and networking. Familiarity with tools for image scanning, runtime protection, policy enforcement, secrets management, and security monitoring is highly desirable. You should understand common Kubernetes risks and relevant security frameworks, and be comfortable automating controls using scripting or infrastructure-as-code tools. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will need to explain technical risks clearly, influence engineering practices, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. Relevant security or cloud certifications are advantageous, as is experience in regulated or enterprise environments.
