The Opportunity: We are seeking a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with strong expertise in Kubernetes and modern CI/CD practices. In this role, you will design, implement, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available cloud-native platforms that support multiple engineering teams. You will help manage the full lifecycle of containerized applications—from image build and deployment through observability, performance validation, and reliability improvements—while contributing to a resilient, well-governed platform environment. Why This Role Matters
  • Help ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of critical platforms
  • Influence how infrastructure is built and operated as the organization grows
  • Work across teams to enable faster, safer software delivery
  • Improve systems, processes, and tooling—not just maintain them
What You'll Do:
  • Design, deploy, and manage production Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, resource quotas, network policies, ingress/egress controls, and RBAC
  • Develop and maintain deployment patterns using Helm, Kustomize, and Kubernetes operators
  • Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Infrastructure as Code and GitOps principles
  • Provision and manage infrastructure using tools such as Terraform or similar automation platforms
  • Build secure container images and manage image versioning and promotion across environments
  • Implement observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, Open Telemetry, or similar technologies
  • Conduct load testing, resilience validation, performance tuning, and capacity planning
  • Perform Linux administration, troubleshooting, and system hardening
  • Support stateful workloads including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and Kafka
  • Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvement initiatives
  • Document architecture, operational procedures, backup and recovery processes, and infrastructure lifecycle plans
What We're Looking For:
  • 2–5+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE roles
  • Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience working with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform
  • Strong containerization knowledge and security best practices
  • Solid Linux administration and troubleshooting skills
  • Proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language
  • Understanding of networking, Kubernetes security, and deployment strategies
  • Experience with load testing and performance analysis
  • Ability to work effectively across technical teams in a collaborative environment
Additional Information:
  • Candidates must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
  • Salary range: $85,000 – $100,000, based on experience
  • Bonus eligibility available
  • Remote (US) position with occasional travel as needed

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
