Design, build, and continuously improve deployment pipelines and GitOps tooling using technologies like FluxCD, ArgoCD, and Jenkins.
Manage and optimize Kubernetes infrastructure across a large-scale, multi-cluster environment, leveraging Helm Charts to streamline deployments.
Develop and maintain automation and operational tooling, primarily using Python, to improve system efficiency and reliability.
Apply Infrastructure as Code principles to provision and manage cloud infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services.
Partner with product managers and engineers to plan features, break down complex initiatives, and deliver solutions aligned with business and technical priorities.
Review code and provide technical guidance to elevate engineering standards and support team growth.
Drive platform reliability, scalability, and developer productivity through thoughtful architecture, tooling, and automation.

A Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, experience, and training.
At least 3 years of professional experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering, with hands-on expertise in infrastructure tooling.
Strong experience working with Kubernetes and containerization technologies, including managing and scaling production deployments.
Proficiency in GitOps practices and tools such as FluxCD or ArgoCD.
