The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with strong expertise in Kubernetes and modern CI/CD practices. In this role, you will design, implement, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud-native platforms that support multiple engineering teams.

You will help manage the full lifecycle of containerized applications—from image build and deployment through observability, performance validation, and reliability improvements—while contributing to a resilient, well-governed platform environment.

Why This Role Matters

• Help ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of critical platforms
• Influence how infrastructure is built and operated as the organization grows
• Work across teams to enable faster, safer software delivery

• Develop and maintain deployment patterns using Helm, Kustomize, and Kubernetes operators
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps principles
• Provision and manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform or similar automation platforms
• Build secure container images and manage image versioning and promotion across environments
• Implement observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or similar technologies
• Conduct load testing, resilience validation, performance tuning, and capacity planning
• Perform Linux administration, troubleshooting, and system hardening
• Support stateful workloads including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and Kafka
• Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvement initiatives
• Document architecture, operational procedures, backup and recovery processes, and infrastructure lifecycle plans

What We're Looking For

• 2–5+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles
• Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• Experience working with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform
• Strong containerization knowledge and security best practices
• Solid Linux administration and troubleshooting skills
• Proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language
• Understanding of networking, Kubernetes security, and deployment strategies
• Experience with load testing and performance analysis
• Ability to work effectively across technical teams in a collaborative environment

Additional Information

• Candidates must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States
• Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
• Salary range: $85,000 – $100,000, based on experience

• Bonus eligibility available

• Remote (US) position with occasional travel as needed
