• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support application modernization and cloud transformation efforts.
• Mentor engineers and contribute to technical leadership across DevOps and platform initiatives.
• Ensure infrastructure security, compliance, and best practices across Kubernetes and cloud environments.

Requirements:

• 5–7+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, or platform engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on expertise with Kubernetes in production environments, preferably AWS EKS.
• Solid experience with Docker and containerized application architectures.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across engineering and security teams.
• Experience with security best practices in Kubernetes (RBAC, secrets management, network policies) is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience preferred.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation with bonus eligibility and performance-based rewards.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match available from day one.
• Unlimited PTO for salaried employees plus paid holidays.
