What You’ll Bring to the Role: - Strong hands-on experience architecting and operating cloud-native distributed systems (AWS and GCP). - Deep expertise with Kubernetes (EKS and GKE) — design, provisioning, scaling, and advanced troubleshooting in production. - Proven experience leading ECS to EKS/GKE migrations and driving microservice enablement initiatives at scale. - Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform (multi-provider), Ansible, or CloudFormation. - Solid coding and scripting ability in Python, Go, or Shell, with a focus on automation, tooling, and operational excellence. - Advanced understanding of CI/CD pipelines (ArgoCD, GitLab CI, Spinnaker), Linux systems, and networking fundamentals (Direct Connect/Interconnect, DNS, routing, load balancing). - Experience managing databases and caching systems (e.g., RDS/Cloud SQL, Redis/Memorystore, PostgreSQL, MySQL) in cloud environments. - Hands-on experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Loki, OpenTelemetry, Google Cloud Operations) for performance and reliability insights. - Working knowledge of container security, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Google Secret Manager), and compliance in production environments. - Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated success leading cross-team projects and mentoring peers. Experience: - 8+ years in SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering roles. - 3–5 years of experience with Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) and related ecosystem tools (Helm, Karpenter, etc.) in production. - 3–5 years of experience with AWS and GCP. - 3–5 years using Terraform to manage multi-cloud infrastructure. - 3+ years of coding experience in Python, Go, or similar languages. - Proven track record leading high-impact projects, specifically migration projects (ECS → EKS/GKE) and enabling microservice architectures. - Experience implementing SLOs/SLIs, performing root cause analyses, and improving operational resilience. - Prior work in SaaS or high-scale, cloud-native environments is a strong plus. - Strong Linux and security fundamentals. - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent hands-on experience. #LI_Hybrid P24490_3505192 The Okta Experience - [Supporting Your Well-Being](http://rewards.okta.com) - [Driving Social Impact](https://www.okta.com/company/okta-for-good/) - [Developing Talent and Fostering Connection + Community](https://www.okta.com/company/talent-connection-community/) We are intentional about connection.
