You'll bring deep, hands-on Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud expertise to help keep production infrastructure reliable and secure. You'll support a small, high-output team that powers compliance and investigations technology used to trace billions in illicit crypto activity, with current major projects including the AI Gateway, LangChain/LangGraph infrastructure for AI products, disaster recovery infrastructure, and multi-region AWS Kubernetes clusters.

What you'll do

• Engineer, review, and enhance Kubernetes and CNCF-aligned infrastructure day to day, including multi-cluster, multi-region environments using tools like Istio/Linkerd, Cluster API, and Kyverno
• Contribute to the DevOps and Platform roadmap, including Kubernetes platform evolution, application packaging and migration to EKS, and enabling engineering teams to ship reliably to production
• Contribute to the Kong AI Gateway, including Kubernetes operator setup, Dataplane deployments, ACM/SSL integration, and observability via DataDog
• Build and maintain progressive delivery pipelines using GitOps-driven, canary, and automated release tools like Flux and Flagger, alongside CircleCI for CI pipeline management
• Maintain Infrastructure as Code and GitOps standards, including automated testing for infrastructure changes
• Support Zero Trust practices using tools like Vault, service identity, and mTLS-secured meshes
• Build policy-driven automation using tools like OPA or Kyverno
• Work with provisioning tools such as Crossplane or ACK for Kubernetes-native cloud integration
• Collaborate with Security, Data, and AI teams on DevOps and platform decisions

What you bring

• Strong, hands-on Kubernetes experience including cluster lifecycle management, API extensions, Operators, Helm, and the broader CNCF ecosystem
• Strong Terraform experience, comfortable with complex state management and module design across cloud environments
• Experience designing and operating multi-cluster, multi-region Kubernetes platforms with service meshes such as Istio, Consul, or Linkerd
• Experience implementing GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD or FluxCD for progressive delivery, drift correction, and multi-environment releases
• AI fluency: working knowledge of LLM-based services and AI infrastructure, and comfort deploying, securing, and operating AI Gateways and services such as Kong AI Gateway or LangGraph deployments

Nice to have

• Experience with Operator development, CRD automation, eBPF, or Cilium for observability
• Policy-as-code using OPA or Kyverno within secure supply chain frameworks
• Exposure to AI-driven internal developer platforms or predictive observability using AI/LLMs
• Experience with DataDog for observability, dashboards, and monitoring pipeline integrations
• Contributions to open-source or CNCF community projects
