Description

This is not a support role. You own outcomes end-to-end as a technical leader, educator, and problem-solver who delivers measurable improvements in velocity, reliability, and security.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement end-to-end Infrastructure as Code and GitOps solutions using Terraform and related tools.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI) with Gitflow or trunk-based practices.
• Automate configuration management, provisioning, and compliance using Ansible (primary).
• Deploy, manage, and tune Kubernetes platforms (AKS, EKS, OpenShift, or vanilla K8s) and containerized workloads.
• Integrate and operationalize Elasticsearch for observability, logging, search, and security analytics.
• Incorporate AI and Agentic AI capabilities such as LLM gateways, RAG systems, guardrails, and multi-agent workflows.
• Harden software supply chains with SBOMs, vulnerability scanning, signing, and policy-as-code.
• Deliver comprehensive observability stacks with OpenTelemetry.
• Provide hands-on knowledge transfer so client teams can own and evolve the solutions.
• Travel to client sites (0–40% depending on client needs) for workshops, implementations, and support.

Required Qualifications

• Demonstrated years of experience building and operating production DevOps, automation, or platform engineering systems (10+ years preferred).
• Deep expertise in CI/CD, Git workflows, Terraform, and Ansible.
• 2+ years hands-on with Elasticsearch.
• Solid experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or equivalents).
• 1+ year practical experience with AI / Agentic AI systems (LLMs, orchestration, guardrails, RAG).
• 1+ year experience with at least one major cloud (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform). Kubernetes and containerization required.
• Proven ability to deliver complex projects with minimal supervision in dynamic environments.
• Strong communication skills. You can explain tradeoffs clearly to engineers and stakeholders alike.

Preferred Qualifications

• VMware, ArgoCD, Crossplane, Trivy/Cosign, OpenTelemetry, or policy engines.
• Prior consulting experience or open-source contributions.
• Track record modernizing observability platforms or large-scale migrations. Passion for teaching client teams and leaving systems better than you found them
