Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, site reliability, DevOps, or infrastructure roles with similar technologies at production scale
• Strong Linux fundamentals across Ubuntu and Debian environments, comfortable with systemd, nmcli, networking, package management, and embedded or edge hardware
• Proven Kubernetes experience, able to troubleshoot broken pods, inspect events, tune resource scheduling, and trace requests end-to-end through a layered routing stack
• Hands-on Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD experience, writing infrastructure as code and treating deployment reliability as a feature
• Observability fluency with PromQL, LogQL, Databricks SQL, and CloudWatch queries, and ability to build useful dashboards
• Solid networking foundation including DNS, TLS, TCP, ARP, firewalls, VPN behavior, and load balancer behavior in cloud and physical environments
• Pragmatic and calm under pressure, working effectively with legacy systems, vendor constraints, and incomplete documentation
• Strong communicator, able to write clear runbooks, explain complex systems to non-infrastructure teammates, and improve documentation

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve systems connecting cloud platform to the physical world
• Work across AWS and Kubernetes environments, distributed Linux edge hardware, and observability stack
• Build reliability, automation, and operational visibility for engineering teams
• Own and evolve AWS infrastructure (EKS, EC2, ALB/ELB, ACM, IAM, ECR, Auto Scaling Groups) focusing on uptime, cost efficiency, and deployment safety
• Maintain Kubernetes platform health including deployments, ingress, HPA, secrets, Helm releases, and production incident response
• Partner with development teams to improve deployment pipelines, reduce manual steps, and raise reliability across all environments
• Build and maintain dashboards, alerts, and telemetry pipelines using Grafana, Prometheus/Mimir, Loki, Grafana Alloy, Tempo, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and CloudWatch
• Create actionable metrics, log views, and traces for engineering and operations teams
• Write PromQL, LogQL, SQL, and CloudWatch queries to surface real signal
• Build alert quality into the culture and configuration
• Support distributed Linux-based hardware in the field, including physical servers, embedded devices, vendor integrations, and data forwarding services
• Troubleshoot connectivity, routing, ARP, DNS, firewall rules, VPN behavior, and TCP socket data flows in remote environments
• Develop and maintain runbooks, automation, and configuration management practices for repeatable and resilient field operations
• Own and improve Terraform and Terraform Cloud codebases, Ansible playbooks, Azure DevOps and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and shell/Python automation
• Address configuration drift, manual toil, and undocumented procedures as technical debt
• Harden and document Linux systems across cloud and edge environments for consistency and safe repeatability
• Treat the platform as a product, building opinionated, well-supported workflows for product teams to provision services, ship code, and operate in production
• Gather feedback from engineering teams, prioritize based on impact, and measure adoption and satisfaction of platform capabilities
• Partner with security to implement guardrails into the platform, including secrets management, policy-as-code, supply chain security, and least-privilege defaults
