Your Impact- Full Lifecycle Development: Own the design, codification, testing, and delivery of Kubernetes-based microservices configurations (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps) using Kubernetes, Helm. Build reusable base configs with environment overlays and enable safe promotion across dev, staging, and production.
- DevOps & Microservices: Drive operational perfection in a GitOps model using Argo CD. Implement progressive delivery (canary releases, validation gates), codify autoscaling and resiliency, and manage secure secrets via HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes Secrets.
- Embrace AI technology: Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, validation, and optimization of configuration-as-code, improving delivery speed and reducing deployment risk.
- Adaptable & Problem-Solver: Address complex challenges across configuration, policy, observability, and data services. Apply a data-driven approach using Prometheus and Grafana to improve reliability and performance.
- Ownership & Quality: Own end-to-end configuration quality, enforcing governance with Open Policy Agent. Ensure secure, compliant deployments and full reproducibility, including backup, restore, and disaster recovery.
- Support & Growth: Advance a self-service platform using Backstage and Argo CD, enabling teams to deploy via declarative configs while promoting standard processes and continuous improvement.
- Analytical Degree or equivalent experience: Bachelor's or higher degree in an analytical subject (e.g. Computer Science, Electronic/Software Engineering).
- Work experience: 8+ Years demonstrated experience in software development.
- Coding Aptitude: Extensive architecture and programming experience and the willingness to learn new technologies quickly.
- Strong Kubernetes + microservices experience
- Experience with GitOps (CI/CD)
Any of the following skills would be particularly advantageous, but we encourage applications without these:
- Hands-on with Helm or Kustomize
- Experience with GitOps (e.g., Argo CD)
- Knowledge of secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)
- Experience with observability (metrics/logs/tracing)
At Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era – and beyond. We’ve been innovating fearlessly for 40 years to create solutions that power how humans and technology work together across the physical and digital worlds.
