Your Impact
Full Lifecycle Development: Lead the design, codification, testing, and delivery of Kubernetes-based microservices configurations (Deployments, Services, Ingress, ConfigMaps) using Kubernetes, Helm. Build reusable base configs with environment overlays and enable safe promotion across dev, staging, and production.
DevOps & Microservices: Drive operational excellence in a GitOps model using Argo CD. Implement progressive delivery (canary releases, validation gates), codify autoscaling and resiliency, and manage secure secrets via HashiCorp Vault and Kubernetes Secrets.
Embrace AI technology: Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, validation, and optimization of configuration-as-code, improving delivery speed and reducing deployment risk.
Adaptable & Problem-Solver: Address complex challenges across configuration, policy, observability, and data services. Apply a data-driven approach using Prometheus and Grafana to improve reliability and performance.
Ownership & Quality: Own end-to-end configuration quality, enforcing governance with Open Policy Agent. Ensure secure, compliant deployments and full reproducibility, including backup, restore, and disaster recovery.
Support & Growth: Advance a self-service platform using Backstage and Argo CD, enabling teams to deploy via declarative configs while promoting best practices and continuous improvement.
Minimum Qualifications:
3rd Level Qualification: Bachelor's or higher degree in an analytical subject (e.g. Computer Science, Electronic/Software Engineering).
Work experience: 7+ Years Demonstrated experience in software development.
Coding Aptitude: Extensive architecture and programming experience and the willingness to learn new technologies quickly.
