Devops / Platform Engineer - This role sits at the crossroads of software engineering and infrastructure, where you’ll design CI/CD workflows, streamline container image promotion, enforce security policies, and implement GitOps-based deployment pipelines using ArgoCD. The ideal candidate is passionate about reducing developer friction by building scalable tools, automation, and abstractions. This is not a traditional operations role. We''re seeking an engineer who writes production-quality code and treats platform infrastructure as a product. Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, build, and maintain internal platform tooling to support the software development lifecycle from build through production. Collaborate closely with developers to improve efficiency, automation, and overall experience. Create and manage robust CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD. Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform. Manage and evolve Kubernetes environments for development and production. Integrate security, policy enforcement, and compliance into deployment pipelines. Work with container registries, service mesh technologies (e. G. , Istio), and GitOps strategies for multi-environment delivery. Document platform capabilities and provide internal support to drive adoption. Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives. Required Skills & Experience (Must-Haves)To be considered for this role, candidates must demonstrate:Deep expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices. Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including deployment and support of containerized workloads. Proven experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and/or ArgoCD. Familiarity with container image promotion, GitOps workflows, and version control best practices. Proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language such as Python, Go, or JavaScript. Working knowledge of Istio or similar service mesh solutions. Understanding of cloud-native development, DevOps principles, and operational tooling. Ability to work cross-functionally with development and operations teams. Preferred (Nice-to-Have) SkillsCandidates with the following experience will stand out:Exposure to Azure DevOps, especially with pipeline templating and container scanning integration. Familiarity with internal developer portals such as Backstage. Io. Experience with security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD workflows. Knowledge of cost optimization, multi-cluster, or multi-cloud deployments. Experience building internal developer tools or CLI utilities. Coachables / Growth AreasWe also welcome candidates who show strong foundational skills and are eager to grow in the following areas:Basic or limited experience with Istio, but strong Kubernetes proficiency. Experience with Jenkins or GitLab CI, willing to transition to GitHub Actions and ArgoCD. Intermediate coding ability, with a demonstrated willingness to learn and build with Python or Go. Familiarity with GitOps concepts and a strong desire to work in declarative infrastructure environments.
