• Improve observability and reliability using monitoring tools such as Grafana, while defining and tracking Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
• Develop and enhance core platform systems such as APIs, Kubernetes infrastructure, and internal developer tooling.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to improve developer experience and streamline deployment workflows.
• Support CI/CD pipelines and GitOps-based workflows to ensure efficient and reliable software delivery.
• Participate in operational troubleshooting and incident resolution for complex distributed systems.

• 4+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or System Administration roles.
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes, Linux systems, and cloud infrastructure (AWS and/or Google Cloud Platform).
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or Crossplane and CI/CD tools like GitLab or ArgoCD.
• Solid programming experience in languages such as Go and Python, with experience building cloud-native services.
• Strong understanding of Git, Docker, and modern CI/CD and GitOps workflows.
• Experience working in large-scale distributed systems and production environments with strong operational discipline.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and communicate technical designs clearly across teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary with additional eligibility for bonuses and equity incentives.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage.
• Remote-first work environment with flexible hybrid options depending on location.
• Generous paid time off, including holidays and company-wide rest days.
