Full Job Description
Platform & Infrastructure Engineer Fully Remote | Eastern or Central Time Zone Preferred **Who We Are ** We are K1X. Our technology is used by the nation's largest institutional investors, funds, and accounting firms, bringing long-established solutions that are creating an all-digital K-1 experience. Our goal is to transform the K-1 industry by moving a traditionally analog-based process to an all-digital experience via our software solutions. Join us at the start of something exciting! Learn more at [k1x.io](https://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. **Requirements** * Design, build, and maintain Azure-based infrastructure, with a primary focus on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for reliability, scalability, and developer experience. * Architect and operate infrastructure to support continuous availability — including zero-downtime deployments, automated rollouts, and the ability to scale capacity up and down in response to predictable demand peaks and quiet periods throughout
