Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes), including deployment strategies like Blue/Green and maintaining consistent, reproducible environments.
Strong CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions or similar), designing, building, and maintaining pipelines for continuous integration and smooth software delivery.
Solid Linux system administration skills across major distributions.
Preferred: Elasticsearch and SQL experience, particularly for operational reporting and data visibility.
Preferred: Experience with Go, Python, or other systems-level languages beyond scripting.
Preferred: Hands-on experience with LLM integrations, AI/ML tooling, or building guardrails for non-deterministic systems.
Builder mentality: You have a bias toward action and take ownership of problems from diagnosis to resolution.
Technical depth: Strong problem-solving skills across infrastructure, automation, and systems domains.
Detail-oriented: High standards for reliability, documentation, and operational consistency.
Communicator: Able to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Collaborative: Comfortable working across engineering, DevOps, and product teams with a team-first approach.

Manage containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, including Blue/Green and other deployment strategies.
Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and smooth software deployments.
Develop and maintain automation tooling and scripts to reduce manual overhead and improve operational efficiency.
Create and maintain clear documentation of systems, pipelines, and processes to reduce tribal knowledge risk.
