- Build, deploy, and operate containerized services on Kubernetes using repeatable, environment-aware automation and safe rollout strategies.
- Create and maintain CI/CD pipelines that automate testing, enforce security standards, and enable predictable releases with fast rollback paths.
- Implement actionable observability—metrics, structured logs, and distributed tracing—to support proactive monitoring and rapid incident response.
- Develop AI-assisted operational workflows that help triage issues, recommend fixes, and reduce manual intervention while keeping humans in control.
- Define and validate high-availability and disaster recovery strategies through testing, documentation, and continuous improvement of critical services.
Requirements

- Strong programming capability in Python, JavaScript, and scripting languages such as Shell and/or PowerShell, with a focus on maintainable, well-tested production code.
- Proven ability to design and operate reliable, scalable, secure service architectures, including performance tuning and operational readiness.
- Strong working knowledge of Linux environments, core networking principles, and disciplined troubleshooting of distributed systems.
- Hands-on experience with DevOps practices and tooling, plus at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodologies and tools, and understanding of how to manage environments through repeatable automation.
- Exposure to machine learning or AI technologies and ability to apply them thoughtfully to improve operational workflows and productivity.
Desired Qualifications
- Proactive about spotting risk and ambiguity early, and surfacing it with clear options rather than surprises.
- Approach collaboration by aligning on goals first, then driving decisions with evidence, tradeoffs, and shared context.
- Communicate crisply in writing and conversation, tailoring detail to your audience and documenting decisions so others can move faster.
- Steady under pressure, focusing on restoring service, learning from incidents, and improving systems.
- Approach feedback as a tool, seeking it early, giving it respectfully, and using it to raise the quality of outcomes.
