Responsibilities
- CI/CD & release automation — Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and self-service release tooling (ArgoCD), automating build, test, security scanning, and deployment so product teams ship safely and independently.
- Infrastructure as Code — Architect and maintain IaC frameworks (Crossplane, Cookiecutter) for repeatable, auditable, policy-compliant provisioning across cloud and on-prem.
- Kubernetes & workloads — Deploy, tune, and operate containerized workloads and self-managed OSS services (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch) on Kubernetes, including scaling, quotas, network policies, and cluster lifecycle.
- Data & databases — Manage cloud data platforms (Snowflake) and relational/NoSQL databases: pipelines, access control, performance tuning, capacity planning, backup/restore, and patching with rollback readiness.
- Reliability & networking — Design HA/DR architectures (multi-region failover, RTO/RPO validation) and optimize cloud networking (VPC, peering, service mesh, DNS) for performance and security.
- Incident response — Lead on-call escalation, root cause analysis, and blameless post-mortems to reduce repeat incidents.
- On-prem infrastructure — Administer Linux servers, Nutanix HCI clusters, and Cisco networking equipment.
- Standards & mentorship — Run code and infrastructure reviews, set engineering standards, mentor engineers, and evaluate emerging cloud-native technology against scalability and cost goals.
- B.S. in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of senior/expert-level DevOps and cloud architecture experience across Azure, GCP, and on-premises private clouds.
- Expert in CI/CD operations, GitHub Actions pipelines, branching strategy, build optimization, and static/dynamic code analysis integration.
- Expert in Kubernetes architecture and administration, plus Linux configuration, administration, and troubleshooting.
- Expert in GitOps-driven public and private cloud provisioning and secure network design (ingress/egress, service discovery, DNS).
- Expert in building highly available, redundant service architectures and observability (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, OpenTelemetry).
- Expert in on-prem hardware, including Nutanix clusters, general and GPU compute, and Cisco networking/firewall appliances.
- Proficient with self-managed, redundant streaming and messaging platforms (Kafka, KurrentDB, RabbitMQ/ActiveMQ) on bare metal and Kubernetes operators.
- Proficient with relational (MySQL, Postgres, CockroachDB) and NoSQL/columnar (MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Cassandra) database platforms.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers.
