We encourage applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and maintain safe deployment patterns (blue-green, canary, progressive delivery) using ArgoCD for GitOps sync and Kargo for environment promotion across dev, staging and production.
- Instrument logs, metrics, traces and alerts to improve signal and reduce noise; define SLIs and SLOs with service owners and drive alerting from them.
- Tune and troubleshoot GKE workloads: autoscaling (HPA/VPA, cluster autoscaler), node pool strategy, network policies, resource requests/limits and workload isolation.
- Build and maintain reusable Terraform modules for core infrastructure (VPCs, GKE, CloudSQL, Pub/Sub, IAM, secrets, Cloudflare), with consistent naming, tagging and policy enforcement across environments and cloud providers.
- Lead or support incident response, diagnose production issues from telemetry, run blameless postmortems and drive long-term fixes to completion.
- Detect and eliminate configuration drift; standardize secrets handling, short-lived credentials and environment parity.
- Automate operational toil with Python and shell scripting and harden CI/CD pipelines with clear rollout-readiness standards.

Skill Requirements:

- Datadog - Monitor infrastructure health, capture service-level metrics, reduce alert fatigue through high signal thresholds.
- PagerDuty - Own incident management pipeline. Route alerts by severity and align with business SLAs.
- GKE / Kubernetes - Improve cluster stability and workload isolation. Define auto-scaling configurations and tune for efficiency.
- ArgoCD -  Keep releases consistent across clusters, monitor sync health, and define safe promotion gates between environments.
- Helm / GitOps - Validate release consistency across clusters. Monitor sync status and rollout safety.
- Terraform Cloud - Support DR planning and detect infrastructure changes through state comparisons.
- CloudSQL - Diagnose DB and networking issues. Monitor latency, enforce access patterns, and validate WAF usage.
