Responsibilities
- Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Terragrunt or similar) for cloud infrastructure: networking, compute, Kubernetes clusters, storage, encryption keys, and databases.
- Deploy and manage workloads on Kubernetes using Helm and GitOps (ArgoCD or equivalent) and build container and machine images via automated build pipelines (Docker, Packer/Ansible, or similar).
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI or comparable), including short-lived/credential-less authentication patterns and secrets retrieval at runtime.
- Author and test policy-as-code governance controls and help implement least-privilege and compliance requirements across environments.
- Write operational tooling and automation (Go, Python, and/or Bash) for tasks like auditing, lease/token management, migrations, health checks, and incident response.
- Improve observability: metrics, logging, dashboards, and alerting; help author and implement runbooks.
- Participate in upgrades, capacity planning, hardening, and reliability work for a production security-critical service.
- Write clear documentation and contribute to a culture of secure-by-default engineering.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, or a closely related field.
- Practical experience with at least one major cloud provider. Familiarity with core services such as compute, networking/VPC, IAM, Kubernetes, object storage, and key/secrets management.

- Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar) and comfort with Git-based workflows.
- Scripting/automation proficiency in at least one of: Go, Python, or Bash.
