The difference between a cluster that hums and one that becomes a firefighting exercise is usually a decision about automation, observability, or configuration drift made six weeks earlier, and you are the kind of architect who catches that before it becomes someone else's 2 a.m. page. You think in infrastructure as code. Terraform templates, Flux manifests, Ansible playbooks, these are not abstractions to you, they are the actual artifacts that keep environments repeatable and teams moving. When a developer asks why their pipeline failed, you do not just fix it, you automate the fix so it does not happen again. You are comfortable with a development team talking through their CI/CD bottleneck and walking out with a plan that involves GitHub Actions, Rancher configurations, and a Bash script that makes the problem go away. You do not need perfect requirements. You ask the right questions, align with the people who will actually use what you build, and ship something that works. At Synopsys, you will work on container platforms that support real product development across a global engineering organization. The infrastructure you design will matter. What You'll Be Doing * Support and maintain the development and production container environments using Kubernetes and Rancher * Automate infrastructure tasks using tools like Terraform, Flux, Ansible, and GitHub Actions * Support and work with software development teams on CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure needs * Perform infrastructure maintenance and optimization * Test and apply software patches, security upgrades, and configuration changes * Ensure proper uniformity, documentation, and configuration management of infrastructure resources The Impact You Will Have * Enable development teams to ship faster by building reliable, self-service infrastructure that reduces friction and manual handoffs * Reduce operational toil and incident response time by automating repetitive tasks and embedding SRE practices into platform design * Improve security posture and compliance by ensuring consistent patch management, configuration standards, and infrastructure as code discipline * Accelerate onboarding and cross-team collaboration by maintaining clear, usable documentation and repeatable deployment patterns * Strengthen platform resilience by proactively identifying and addressing configuration drift, resource bottlenecks, and failure modes * Support global engineering productivity by maintaininghighly available container environments that development teams depend on daily * Drive infrastructure modernization by evaluating, testing, and integrating new tools and practices that improve the developer experience
