Lead DevOps Engineer

Project overview

OpenShift/Kubernetes | Apigee en GCP | KeyCloack | Java | Coaching/Begeleiden

Assignment Description

As a Lead DevOps Engineer, you will work closely within one of the platform teams of the Belastingdienst's Integration Competence Center (ICC). The relevant platform team develops and manages API-Management for both internal use (AMD) and external use (AMX).

The API-Management platform consists of Google's Apigee, with the management plane on Google Cloud and the data plane on an OpenShift platform within the Belastingdienst. Currently, the API-Manager for internal use is almost ready and will be brought into production this year. This means that internal Belastingdienst teams will be able to use the API-Manager, and the product will transition from the DEV to the OPS phase. The API-Manager for external use is still in the DEV phase, with an MVP planned for completion this year.

The team lead is expected to collaborate with the platform team on the realization of the API-Management solution, coach team members where necessary, provide overall oversight to ensure the right things are being done, and coordinate with the environment (within ICC with the architect and outside ICC with, among others, the OpenShift team and the network team).

It is essential that the team lead has knowledge and experience with Google's Apigee product as well as the OpenShift platform, and is also a strong communicator. Furthermore, knowledge and experience with the Belastingdienst is a significant advantage.
