• Build advanced CI/CD pipelines and workflows (Pipeline as Code, GitOps, blue-green, canary, progressive delivery, Argo CD, Flux CD).
• Design observability solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, distributed tracing) and tooling (SLO/SLI, alerting, anomaly detection).
• Mentor team members and drive best practices in Kubernetes, observability, and infrastructure automation.

• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience with 8+ years delivering SaaS/PaaS focusing on software development and Kubernetes infrastructure automation.
• Extensive experience with Java, Golang, and/or Python (preference for Golang; strong Java valued) and developing/scaling backend services and microservices.
• Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, EKS, GKE, AKS), containers (Docker, containerd), and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Helm, Kustomize).
• Experience building solutions on cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) with Kubernetes-native services. AWS experience (Fargate, EC2, EKS, Route53, SQS, DynamoDB) preferred.
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, distributed system design, and Kubernetes-native patterns.
• Strong self-initiative, interpersonal skills, adaptability, and experience writing testable, maintainable, performant codebases with focus on observability and collaboration skills across teams and time zones.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience analyzing observability data to identify bottlenecks and improvement areas.
