- Implement and manage progressive deployment strategies including canary deployments and blue-green deployments
- Oversee critical Kubernetes infrastructure including volume management, DNS configuration, load balancer provisioning, and secret monitoring/management
- Manage and optimize Kubernetes deployments and related AWS services
- Implement and maintain observability stack using OpenTelemetry for comprehensive monitoring and alerting
- Collaborate with engineering teams to establish and enforce operational best practices and reliability standards
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of production DevOps/SRE experience with demonstrable track record of maintaining high-availability systems
- Kubernetes administration experience with elevated cluster access in production environments
- Strong proficiency writing and maintaining Helm charts for complex, multi-component applications
- Hands-on experience implementing canary deployments, blue-green deployments, and other progressive delivery patterns
- Deep knowledge of Kubernetes infrastructure management: persistent volumes, DNS/networking, load balancers, and secrets management
- Production experience with GitOps workflows and Flux CD
- Proven track record maintaining 99.99%+ uptime in production environments
- Excellent judgment and decision-making skills when working with production systems
- Familiarity with Aetherflux for declarative canary orchestration and progressive rollout gating
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AWS cloud services, particularly EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), Secrets Manager, VPC networking, IAM, and AWS Load Balancers
- Experience with Karpenter for Kubernetes node autoscaling and cluster optimization
- Experience with OpenTelemetry instrumentation and observability platforms
- Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, or CKS)
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
- Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CDK)
- Experience implementing SRE practices including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
Compensation & Benefits: Compensation level and base salary are competitively structured and thoughtfully determined based on factors such as relevant skills, experience, education, and the scope of the role.
- Comprehensive health coverage: Medical, dental, and vision benefits, with 70% of premiums covered by the employer
- Paid time off: Three (3) weeks per year of vacation
- Retirement plan: Up to 4% employer match on 401(k) contributions
- Paid holidays: 11 company-recognized holidays
- Parental leave
- Educational reimbursement opportunities to support company objectives, continued learning, and career development
