Senior DevOps Engineer

• Deep, hands-on expertise operating Kubernetes and container orchestration in production, including cluster scaling, upgrades, and multi-tenancy.
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including networking, IAM, account structuring, and cost management.
• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred) and building provisioning or automation frameworks that other engineers rely on.
• Solid software engineering skills (Go, Python, or similar) applied to building internal tooling and automation, not just operational scripting.

• Solid understanding of SRE principles, including incident response, fault-tolerant architecture, and capacity planning.
• Experience unblocking and mentoring other engineers (e.g. code / design reviews, knowledge sharing, or driving best practices), and willingness to contribute to hiring across interviewing, tech talks, etc.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; this role works closely with many engineering teams, increasingly operating at global scale.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with GitOps tooling (e.g. Argo CD, Flux), progressive delivery, or service mesh technologies.
• Experience operating multi-cluster or multi-region Kubernetes environments at scale.
• GCP exposure, especially compute and networking aspects.
• Familiarity with cloud cost optimization / FinOps practices for cloud and Kubernetes workloads.
• Experience contributing to multi-org infrastructure unification efforts.
