You can wire all of this up and understand the failure modes. * Hands-on CI/CD experience designing and maintaining pipelines in Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or comparable platforms. * Container experience: Docker, image registries, and Kubernetes workload patterns (Deployments, StatefulSets, Jobs, CronJobs). * PostgreSQL operational experience: backup/restore, replication, migration tooling, basic tuning. * Strong systems-thinking mindset; able to reason about failure modes, blast radius, and reversibility before taking destructive action. * Strong written and verbal communication skills - comfortable working closely with an architect and other engineers, raising questions early rather than guessing. ## Description We're looking for a DevOps Engineer to partner with our platform architect on the infrastructure, CI/CD, and deploy automation behind our products. Our deploy plane runs on Kubernetes with parameterized Helm charts per product environment and Argo CD GitOps from a platform repo. Builds, tests, and image pushes run in our CI/CD platform; deploys land as values-file commits that Argo CD reconciles. Workloads run on AWS EC2 nodes today, with managed PostgreSQL, object storage, a self-hosted secrets platform fronted by an in-cluster operator, and an OpenTelemetry + ELK observability pipeline., This is a collaborative role. You'll work closely with our platform architect, who is setting direction and standards, and align with the patterns already established by our DevOps engineer on a sister product. You won't be reinventing - you'll be executing carefully, raising risks early, and bringing strong Kubernetes and Linux fundamentals to bear, * Operate our Kubernetes clusters: node lifecycle, upgrades, ingress (cert-manager, external-dns), in-cluster secrets operator, default-deny NetworkPolicies, Kubernetes management UI administration. * Maintain and extend our parameterized Helm charts; manage Argo CD applications and the GitOps platform repo; execute deploys as values-file commits. * Run database schema migrations through Argo CD lifecycle hooks. * Maintain and improve our CI/CD pipelines (build, test, scan, push to our container image registry). * Administer Linux server nodes end-to-end on the command line: systemd, networking, firewalling, package management, log management, kernel tuning, troubleshooting production incidents. * Keep the AWS footprint healthy: EC2 (Kubernetes nodes), VPC, security groups, managed PostgreSQL, object storage, IAM, OIDC roles for CI deploys, DNS. * Operate and extend our self-hosted secrets platform; manage machine identities and environment-scoped secret delivery into the cluster via the operator. * Operate and extend our OpenTelemetry collector and ELK observability pipeline; ensure new services have proper instrumentation, log shipping, and dashboards. * Contribute to infrastructure-as-code coverage where it's missing today, under direction from the architect. * Improve deploy reliability: progressive rollouts, rollback paths, pre/post-deploy checks, migration safety, deploy observability. * Keep the developer experience tight: fast pipelines, useful CI signals, reproducible local dev, painless secret rotation. * Serve as an escalation point for infrastructure issues; participate in incident response and contribute to actionable postmortems ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From clicks to cribs - How to find your dream home with web scraping](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/767-from-clicks-to-cribs-how-to-find-your-dream-home-with-web-scraping) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 162: AI careers, MCP, AWS best practices & floppy sweaters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/571-dev-digest-162-ai-careers-mcp-aws-best-practices-floppy-sweaters) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
