  • Translate architectural designs into production-grade implementations
  • Drive platform reliability, security, and performance improvements aligned with industry best practices
  • Collaborate with Tech Leads, developers, and operations teams to ensure platform capabilities meet evolving business needs
  • Participate in support rotation, including occasional after-hours response, to maintain platform stability
  • Maintain clear technical documentation to support knowledge sharing and platform adoption

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD), engineering automation, and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
  • Experience with Kubernetes, microservices, containers, GitOps, and cloud-native applications.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Bash, PowerShell, HCL, or similar tools.
  • Knowledge of Terraform, cloud identity (Entra ID), networking, and security.
  • Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and platform reliability/observability skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across teams and explain technical concepts clearly.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Remote-first work environment.
  • Employee discounts on awesome tech from day one.
  • Health benefits and wellness program.
  • Training programs to build new and transferable skills.
