Documentation & Collaboration

  • Work closely with developers, infrastructure, and DBA teams
  • Troubleshoot issues across cloud, containers, and networking

Requirements

  • 5–6+ years AWS experience (EKS, EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, etc.)
  • 3+ years Kubernetes experience (EKS preferred, Helm, ingress, scaling, troubleshooting)
  • Proven experience with ArgoCD or Flux (required)
  • Strong Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML) experience
  • Solid Docker and ECR experience

  • Experience migrating .NET or Java apps to AWS
  • Experience with service mesh, APIs, or COTS systems
  • Familiarity with tools like Datadog, Splunk, or New Relic
  • Experience with blue/green or canary deployments
