- Operate, optimize, and scale Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
- Manage Kubernetes autoscaling and node lifecycle using Karpenter and native Kubernetes capabilities.
- Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
- Design, improve, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for application and infrastructure deployments.
- Deploy and operate middleware platforms including Kafka, Redis, and NGINX.
- Automate operational workflows and infrastructure tasks using Golang and Python.
- Improve platform observability through monitoring, logging, alerting, and distributed tracing.
- Ensure infrastructure meets high standards for reliability, scalability, security, and disaster recovery.
- Troubleshoot production incidents, conduct root cause analysis, and implement preventative improvements.
- Partner with software engineers to improve deployment processes, infrastructure tooling, and developer experience.
- Participate in on-call rotations and incident response activities.
- Support multi-region and multi-cloud infrastructure where required.
- Contribute to capacity planning and performance optimization for large-scale distributed systems.
What you bring
- 3+ years of professional experience as a DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, or Infrastructure Engineer.
