Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Adaptability & Continuous Learning: A strong engineering mindset with a proven ability to pick up new tools, architectures, and methodologies rapidly as our ecosystem evolves.
- Containerization Concepts: Solid foundational knowledge of the Kubernetes ecosystem, Docker containerization, and configuring CI/CD pipelines (such as GitLab CI).
- Modern Operations (Our Stack): Familiarity with—or a strong desire to learn—Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and declarative GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Kargo).
Experience
- Cloud & Infrastructure Foundation: 3-5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Platform Engineering, with production exposure to a major cloud provider (we use AWS, but Azure or GCP experience is just as welcome).
- Observability & Security Awareness: Familiarity with cloud security tooling and monitoring/observability (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch). Experience building a security posture is a strong plus.
- Core Competencies: Business fluency in English and an openness to integrating AI-assisted tools (like Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT) into your daily scripting and debugging workflows. (It's a nice-to-have bonus if you have prior experience with Elasticsearch, Keycloak, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, or compliance frameworks like ISO 27001!)
