- This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and is passionate about automation, CI/CD, and modern DevOps tooling.
- You will focus on authoring native Kubernetes operators/controllers (Go preferred), building deployment packages for on-prem and AWS (EKS expertise), and implementing hybrid deployments requiring socket programming and concurrency.
- You will also contribute to best practices in observability, security, and cost optimization.
- You will work with a modern stack including Kubernetes (k3d/k3s, Helm, Tilt), Docker, Pulumi, ArgoCD, and a wide range of CNCF and open-source tools.
- You will help implement GitOps, IaC, and progressive delivery, and support a provider-based architecture for flexibility between cloud and on-premises.
- Design, implement, and evolve cloud & on-premises infrastructure (Kubernetes: k3d/k3s, Helm, Tilt; Docker) using IaC (Pulumi, Terraform/OpenTofu, Helm) on AWS (EKS).
- Author and extend native Kubernetes operators/controllers in Go (provider-based architecture).
- Build deployment packages for AWS and on-premises; enable hybrid connectivity (socket programming, concurrency).
- Implement GitOps and progressive delivery (Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, Helm).
- Design, secure, and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Dagger).
- Establish observability & tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, Zipkin) and centralized logging (Fluent Bit).
- Manage service mesh & gateways (Istio, Linkerd, Consul Connect; Envoy, Kong, AWS API Gateway).
- Implement secrets & policy management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, K8s secrets, BuildKit Secrets; K8s RBAC, OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno).
- Maintain container registry & image supply chain (Harbor, ECR, Artifactory; Trivy scanning).
- Support security, compliance, networking, and cost optimization across environments.
- Integrate Dapr for sidecar/building-block patterns in platform services.
- Apply testing & resilience practices (Go/Python/C# test frameworks; chaos engineering: Litmus, Chaos Mesh).
- Lead incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
- Document infrastructure & decisions (ADR, C4); mentor & share best practices.
- Reduce technical debt; coordinate framework/library upgrades; adopt vetted CNCF/open-source tools.
