Provision and maintain infrastructure using Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible.
Build and improve Helm charts, Argo CD ApplicationSets, and GitHub Actions workflows for seamless delivery.
Investigate incidents using logs, metrics, and health checks, and execute safe changes with clear validation and rollback plans.
Enforce secure access to GCP services, secrets, and container registries, maintaining a security-first approach to production changes.
Work directly with developers to troubleshoot issues and improve the overall stability and performance of our systems. Your skills & experience:
Hands-on experience operating Kubernetes workloads, backed by solid fundamentals in Linux servers, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, and TLS.
Practical experience managing infrastructure with Terraform and Ansible, including reviewing infrastructure plans and managing changes across environments.
Proficiency with Helm, Git-based delivery, and Docker container build pipelines, along with confidence in writing Bash and Python scripts.
Working knowledge of GCP—particularly GKE, IAM, and Secret Manager - paired with a security-conscious approach to credentials and access permissions.
Clear communication skills during code reviews and incidents, demonstrating the ability to investigate unfamiliar systems and explain technical trade-offs. Nice to have:
Experience with large-scale, multi-cluster systems.
Experience with web-scraping environments.
Experience with any of the following: Cloudflare, HAProxy, ArgoCD, Linkerd, Redis, PostgreSQL, Datadog, or VictoriaMetrics.
Familiarity with programming languages such as Python, NodeJS, Rust, or Go.
