In this role, you will lead and implement DevOps practices while leveraging your programming expertise to build automation tools, improve infrastructure, and enhance system reliability.

• Build kubernetes operators and custom solutions using Go and Python
• Lead CI/CD implementation and continuous improvement efforts
• Monitor system health, performance, and security using modern stacks and OpenTelemetry
• Be part of the DevOps on-call rotation (around 2 shifts per month)
• Design and implement scalable and resilient architecture solutions
• Collaborate with development teams to improve deployment workflows
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure and application issues
• Establish best practices for infrastructure management and security
• Mentor junior team members on DevOps practices and technologies

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in IT operations, systems engineering, or a similar role
• 3+ years of professional software development experience in Go and/or Python
• Strong experience with GitOps and infrastructure as code tools (ArgoCD, Flux, Terraform)
• Expertise in containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Deep knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/Concourse)
• Proficiency with monitoring, logging, and observability tools and practices (Prometheus Stack and OTel)
• Strong Linux/Unix system administration skills
• Knowledge of networking concepts and security best practices
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with microservices architecture
• You can explain Kubernetes to your non-technical friends without making their eyes glaze over

• Familiarity with service mesh concepts (Envoy, Istio, Linkerd)
• Experience with GitOps workflows
• Contributions to open-source projects
• Your infrastructure diagrams are works of art (or at least comprehensible)
• Experience leading technical projects and mentoring other engineers

Team Culture

• Our infrastructure team handles more layers than a well-designed Kubernetes cluster
• We're like Git - always ready to commit to good ideas and branch out when needed
• "Move fast and fix things" is our motto (we're not breaking production on Fridays)

What we offer

• Innovative Product Company: Be part of a company with a long-term vision that values sustainable growth.
• High-Performing Team: Join a talented team that supports your professional growth and values your expertise.
• Career Growth: Opportunity to step up as a Backend Lead, leading projects and mentoring other team members.
