This is a hands-on engineering position combining DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, and release automation. The engineer will own the path from local development through production deployment into AWS Kubernetes environments, as well as the operational health and reliability of those environments. The platform is currently operating within IATT environments and progressing toward scale and ATO. At the current team size, build/release and production operations are intentionally combined the engineer responsible for deploying the platform also has responsibility for ensuring that it operates reliably. The environment includes AWS EKS, CDK, Kubernetes, Helm, Flux GitOps, container registries, Envoy Gateway, distributed tracing, and modern observability technologies., * Design, build, maintain, and operate highly available AWS infrastructure supporting an Agentic AI platform. * Own the software delivery lifecycle from local development through build, test, packaging, promotion, and deployment into AWS environments. * Deploy and operate Kubernetes workloads in production AWS EKS environments. * Author, maintain, and troubleshoot Helm charts supporting platform applications and services. * Build and maintain GitOps-based continuous delivery utilizing Flux, Helm, and container registries. * Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK and TypeScript. * Build and manage AWS infrastructure utilizing EKS, RDS, S3, IAM/IRSA, ECR, and related AWS services. * Build and maintain container-image and Helm-chart promotion processes. * Configure and support Envoy Gateway routing, certificates, and TLS. * Implement and operate observability and distributed-tracing capabilities utilizing OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Tempo, or equivalent technologies. * Establish cross-service tracing to provide end-to-end visibility into distributed application and agent workflows. * Monitor cluster, application, and service health and proactively identify reliability issues. * Diagnose failed or stuck Helm and Flux reconciliations, configuration drift, pod failures, and deployment issues. * Lead production incident investigation and root-cause analysis using Kubernetes state, logs, metrics, and distributed traces. * Develop preflight validation, diagnostic, QA, and operational tooling. * Automate infrastructure and operational processes using Python and other scripting technologies. * Support credential, certificate, and secrets rotation. * Partner with software engineers and AI/ML teams to deploy and operate agentic applications, model-serving infrastructure, and supporting services. * Support platform security, compliance, IATT, and ATO activities. * Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate engineering while independently validating generated code and configuration before deployment. * Drive an engineering approach based on measurable evidence, automated testing, telemetry, and verification. ## Related Videos - [Hosting a modern justice system](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/332-hosting-a-modern-justice-system) - [SRE Methods In an Agency Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/348-sre-methods-in-an-agency-environment) - [5 steps for running a Kubernetes environment at scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/88-5-steps-for-running-a-kubernetes-environment-at-scale) - [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) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
