Create and provide practical examples of documentation, best practices, and onboarding materials to guide teams in adopting Kubernetes and cloud-native capabilities. Conduct training sessions and workshops to equip developers with the knowledge and tools they need for success.
Gather feedback from development teams to identify areas for improvement and iterate on the onboarding process, tooling, and support offerings to drive continuous improvement and simplification in the developer experience.

Expertise with one or more of Kubernetes, OpenShift, Tanzu/VKS, Docker and/or Podman.
Experience with Kubernetes observability tools for metrics, monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing.

About the company

Intercontinental Exchange runs financial marketplaces, clearing houses and data services for banks, investors and businesses that trade or finance assets.

ICE also sells market pricing and analytics, while its mortgage software supports lenders from loan applications through closing and servicing. Trading fees, listing fees and subscriptions pay for these services, and clearing houses manage the risk that one side of a trade fails to pay. Founded in 2000 to digitize energy trading, Intercontinental Exchange is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Subscriptions support stability: ICE reported 51% recurring net revenue for 2025 in February 2026.
Employees get matched charitable giving: ICE matches eligible donations dollar for dollar up to $5,000 yearly.
Mortgage customers stay: Wells Fargo renewed its ICE servicing agreement in September 2026 after more than 35 years.

What critics are saying

Housing slowdowns hit mortgage fees: ICE earns transaction revenue per processed loan, and reduced lending has hurt receipts.
Clearing puts ICE capital at risk: over $200 million of its own money backs protection against member defaults.
Office attendance matters for data leaders: ICE's exchange content strategy manager role is designated in-office across four US locations.

What makes Intercontinental Exchange unique

Brent settlement follows physical oil: ICE uses published North Sea cargo trades and assessments to set its final price.
ICE prices assets without a trade: independent securities evaluations combine comparable quotes, yield curves and valuation models.
Mortgage ownership records run through ICE: its MERS system and electronic registry connect lenders beyond loan origination.
