About the Role

We are looking for a Dev
Ops Engineer with strong development skills to join our Developer Experience (Dev
X) team. The team is a hybrid Dev
Ops and development group focused on building and operating internal tools, infrastructure, and services that streamline engineering workflows and accelerate delivery across the company.

As part of the Dev
X team, you’ll own both infrastructure and application‑level responsibilities, working across automation, infrastructure‑as‑code, and backend development to deliver high‑impact tools used daily by engineers company‑wide.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable fast, reliable, and secure deployments.
• Contribute to the development of our Kubernetes operator and other supporting services.
• Own and evolve infrastructure components using infrastructure‑as‑code (e. g. , Terraform, Pulumi, Helm).
• Develop and maintain internal microservices that support platform capabilities and developer workflows.
• Maintain and extend internal tools like Retool, enabling teams to build internal apps and dashboards efficiently.
• Implement observability best practices through monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and deliver scalable, automated solutions.
• Drive adoption of Dev
  Ops best practices, including Git
  Ops, progressive delivery, and shift‑left testing.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Dev
  Ops, SRE, or Backend Engineer.
• Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or another modern language.
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, including writing custom controllers or operators (e. g. , with Kubebuilder or Operator SDK).
• Proficiency with infrastructure‑as‑code tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and Helm.
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Git
  Lab CI, Circle
  CI, or Argo Workflows.
• Solid background with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong sense of ownership and attention to reliability, scalability, and developer impact.

Nice to Have

• Experience working on internal developer platforms or Dev
  X teams.
• Experience with testing strategies: unit, integration, end‑to‑end, performance, and smoke tests.
• Dev
  Ops expertise combined with strong software development skills beyond scripting.
• Experience administering or customizing tools like Retool or other internal platforms.
• Contributions to open‑source projects, especially in the Dev
  Ops/Kubernetes ecosystem.
• Familiarity with Git
  Ops workflows using tools like Argo
  CD or Flux.
