- Develop and manage Helm charts for deploying and packaging complex applications across environments.
- Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using ArgoCD for continuous delivery to Kubernetes clusters.
- Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate build, test, and deployment workflows.
- Use Crossplane for declarative, Kubernetes-based infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud resources.
- Write and maintain Ansible playbooks for configuration management, automation, and deployment scripting.
- Embed security throughout the DevOps lifecycle (DevSecOps), including IAM policies, secret management, encryption, and compliance enforcement.
- Build and maintain observability infrastructure, including logging, metrics, alerting, and distributed tracing.
- Champion code review practices, Git branching strategies, and collaboration standards across the engineering organization.
- Drive automated testing integration within CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality and coverage.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering roles.
- Deep hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, EKS, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.).
- Strong proficiency with Kubernetes, including cluster management, workload orchestration, and troubleshooting.

- Familiarity with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
- Experience operating in a fully remote engineering organization.
- Knowledge of container security scanning and runtime protection tools.
- Contributions to open-source DevOps tooling or community projects.
- Based in or near Atlanta, GA (not required but preferred for occasional in-person collaboration).
