## About the Role We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and platform tooling. You will work closely with engineering teams to design, build, and maintain the systems that keep our products reliable, secure, and performant. This is a high-impact role with significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape how we build and ship software. ## Responsibilities - Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, including VPCs, IAM, networking, and resource provisioning following organizational best practices. - Build and maintain Kubernetes clusters for workload orchestration, including writing and managing manifests, deployments, and cluster configurations. - Develop and manage Helm charts for deploying and packaging complex applications across environments. - Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using ArgoCD for continuous delivery to Kubernetes clusters. - Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate build, test, and deployment workflows. - Use Crossplane for declarative, Kubernetes-based infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud resources. - Write and maintain Ansible playbooks for configuration management, automation, and deployment scripting. - Embed security throughout the DevOps lifecycle (DevSecOps), including IAM policies, secret management, encryption, and compliance enforcement. - Build and maintain observability infrastructure, including logging, metrics, alerting, and distributed tracing. - Champion code review practices, Git branching strategies, and collaboration standards across the engineering organization. - Drive automated testing integration within CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality and coverage. ## Required Qualifications - 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles. - Deep hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, EKS, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.). - Strong proficiency with Kubernetes, including cluster management, workload orchestration, and troubleshooting. - Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or similar platforms. - Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Crossplane, Terraform, or Pulumi. - Solid experience with Helm for Kubernetes package management. - Working knowledge of ArgoCD or similar GitOps continuous delivery tools. - Experience with configuration management tools, particularly Ansible. - Strong understanding of security best practices: IAM, secrets management, encryption, and compliance frameworks. - Proficiency with Git, including branching strategies and pull request workflows. - Excellent troubleshooting skills across distributed systems and cloud environments. - Must be a US citizen ## Preferred Qualifications - Hands-on experience with Crossplane for infrastructure-as-code, including authoring Compositions and managing cloud resources via Kubernetes-native APIs. - Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK stack, or similar). - Familiarity with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd). - Experience operating in a fully remote engineering organization. - Knowledge of container security scanning and runtime protection tools. - Contributions to open-source DevOps tooling or community projects. - Based in or near Atlanta, GA (not required but preferred for occasional in-person collaboration). ## What Success Looks Like in This Role - Cloud infrastructure that is reliable, secure, and scales with the organization - CI/CD pipelines that ship software quickly and safely - Kubernetes platforms that are observable, resilient, and maintainable - Security and compliance practices embedded across the engineering lifecycle - Strong collaboration across engineering, product, and operations
