  • Platform Operations: Support and operate Kubernetes clusters, including deployments, scaling, networking, and troubleshooting.
  • Observability & Reliability: Contribute to observability by instrumenting services, building dashboards in tools like Datadog or Prometheus, and improving incident detection via SLO/SLI-based practices.
  • Incident Response: Participate in on-call rotations and incident response, contributing to root cause analysis (RCA) and driving follow-up improvements.
  • Automation: Automate toil and repetitive operational tasks to improve reliability and reduce manual effort.
  • Developer Enablement: Collaborate with application engineering teams to advise on architecture decisions and improve deployment workflows.

  • Scripting: Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Go, Bash, or similar).
  • Reliability Mindset: Exposure to observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, CloudWatch) and GitOps workflows.
  • Problem Solving: Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to debug complex distributed systems issues.
  • Collaboration: Excellent communication skills-able to work with engineers across teams to understand infrastructure needs and deliver solutions.
  • Education: Bachelor's Degree (4-year) in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.
