Join our infrastructure team in a role where you will design, implement, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud-native platforms that support multiple engineering teams. In this role, you'll help manage the full lifecycle of containerized applications-from image build and deployment through observability, performance validation, and reliability improvements-while helping strengthen a resilient, well-governed multi-tenant platform environment. Why your work in this role matters: * You'll help ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our core platforms. * You'll influence how infrastructure is built and operated as the organization grows. * You'll work across teams to enable faster, safer software delivery. * You'll have opportunities to improve systems, processes, and tooling-not just maintain them., * Design, deploy, and manage production Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, resource quotas, network policies, ingress/egress controls, and RBAC. * Develop and maintain declarative deployment patterns using Helm, Kustomize, and Kubernetes operators. * Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps principles, including version-controlled changes, automated validation, and rollback strategies. * Provision and manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform or Crossplane, applying best practices for immutability, idempotency, and state management. * Build secure, efficient container images using multi-stage builds and vulnerability scanning; manage image versioning and promotion across environments. * Implement observability solutions using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry; support service level indicators (SLIs), service level objectives (SLOs), and actionable alerting strategies. * Conduct load testing and resilience validation to support performance tuning, failure analysis, and capacity planning. * Perform Linux system administration, including system hardening, troubleshooting, and OS-level performance tuning. * Support stateful workloads (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, Redis, Kafka), including backup and restore considerations and performance implications. * Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, contributing to root cause analysis and continuous reliability improvements. * Document architecture, operational procedures, backup and recovery processes, and infrastructure lifecycle plans. ## Related Videos - [Building a Cloud Platform Where Everything is Just Another Kubernetes Resource](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100137-building-a-cloud-platform-where-everything-is-just-another-kubernetes-resource) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Kubernetes Security Best Practices](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1411-kubernetes-security-best-practices) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
