Senior Platform Consultant (Kubernetes / Cilium / Edge)

At Trility Consulting®, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.

We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.

What You Will Do

We are seeking a Platform Engineer to design and manage a distributed cloud-to-edge infrastructure across Kubernetes environments. This role will focus on implementing secure, scalable hybrid networking using Cilium and KubeEdge, enabling high-performance connectivity and secure workload communication between centralized Kubernetes clusters and remote edge nodes.

You will help establish a unified networking and identity layer across environments, leveraging eBPF-based policy enforcement, encrypted service communication, and workload identity frameworks. This is an engineering-focused role centered on cloud-native networking, security, and infrastructure automation — not traditional appliance-based networking.

This is a remote 1099 position.

Trility’s culture is built upon the journey, character, and work ethic of our team members. We are a team of honorable and professional lifelong learners who work together to solve problems proactively.
