    • Establish and promote best practices, standards, training, and general support for both on-premises and cloud environments.
    • Continuously analyze and develop solutions to improve platform performance, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency across applications and processes.
    • Lead design decisions, including researching and prototyping emerging technologies.
    • Champion exceptional containerization and cloud platform design and quality.
    • Build and maintain monitoring systems and dashboards; develop tools and scripts to automate and streamline server and container administration.
    • Provide operational support through on-call rotations, ensuring high availability and timely incident resolution, including root cause analysis.

    What we're looking for:

    • 7+ years of experience building, hardening, and administering Linux in a production environment.
    • 5+ years of hands-on experience with Kubernetes clusters, including setup, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting (AWS EKS experience is a plus).
    • 5+ years of experience designing, supporting, and migrating on-premises resources to AWS cloud infrastructure, with hands-on experience across core services including EC2, VPC, API Gateway, and related CLI and SDK tooling.
    • 3+ years of hands-on experience with configuration management and Infrastructure as Code tools such as Chef, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, and AWS CDK.
    • Proficiency in Python, YAML, Bash, PowerShell, or other scripting and object-oriented languages.
    • Broad expertise in DevSecOps, encompassing security and performance best practices for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid architectures, with a demonstrated commitment to continuous learning, documentation, and mentoring.
    • Operational ownership of system uptime and quality, including advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis across diverse systems and technologies.
    • Experience with observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and New Relic.
    • Experience with Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Multi-cloud experience spanning AWS, GCP, and Azure.
    • Familiarity with F5, Gloo, Lambda, VPC, load balancing, and diagnosing server- and network-related issues.
    • Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) experience.
    • Experience with Active Directory and file systems management.
