What You’ll Do
- Help build and maintain Kubernetes-based application platforms.
- Create and improve deployment automation using Docker, Helm, Terraform, and CI/CD tooling.
- Provision and manage infrastructure through infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Improve observability using Grafana, Tempo, Alloy, and Mimir; help teams turn telemetry into actionable insights.
- Support cloud and hybrid environments, primarily including GCP and OpenShift, while working with a cloud-agnostic mindset.
- Automate repetitive operational tasks and continuously identify opportunities to eliminate manual work.
- Assist with incident investigation, reliability improvements, and post-incident follow-ups.
- Partner with developers to make deployments safer, faster, and more repeatable.
- Contribute to platform security practices, including secrets handling, access controls, container security, and policy compliance.
- Maintain clear documentation, runbooks, and reusable automation.
- Fresh graduate or 1–2 years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, software engineering, systems administration, or a related field.
- Familiarity with Linux fundamentals: shell usage, processes, filesystems, permissions, package management, and basic troubleshooting.
- Understanding of networking fundamentals, including DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/IP, load balancing, firewalls, and TLS.
- Familiarity with Git, GitHub, and CI/CD concepts; exposure to GitHub Actions is a plus.
- Exposure to containers and orchestration, especially Docker and Kubernetes.

- Basic understanding of Helm, YAML, Git, and CI/CD concepts.
- Programming or scripting ability in at least one language such as Python, Bash, Go, or JavaScript.
- Curiosity about monitoring, logging, tracing, and system reliability.
- A strong automation-first mindset: you look for repeatable solutions rather than relying on manual processes.
- Clear communication skills and willingness to learn in a collaborative environment.
- Familiarity with Grafana, Tempo, Alloy, Mimir, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry.
- Exposure to cybersecurity, governance, risk, compliance, or audit requirements.
- Awareness of secure software supply-chain practices, vulnerability management, IAM, secrets management, or policy-as-code.
