Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, enabling fast, safe, and auditable delivery for our backend services. Partner closely with the backend team on Go development tasks, from infrastructure-adjacent services and tooling to production-readiness improvements in core services. Operate and evolve our Kubernetes environments, networking, and secrets management, ensuring high availability and strong sensitive data isolation. Drive our monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices, and continuously raise the bar on observability across the stack. Embed security best practices into our infrastructure and delivery pipelines, IAM, network policies, secret handling, and compliance-aligned controls. Collaborate on architectural and technological decisions, participate in design and code reviews, and help shape engineering standards across the team.

Excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills, with a strong commitment to collaboration and a team-player attitude. Deep experience with cloud platforms (GCP and/or AWS), including networking, IAM, and managed services at scale. Strong hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar) in production environments. Production experience with Kubernetes and modern container-based delivery. Solid experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, or equivalent). Strong scripting and/or development skills, with the ability to read, write, and review production code. Experience operating PostgreSQL or other managed databases in production. Nice To Have Software development background with production experience in Go (or a strong willingness and track record of contributing code to backend services). Strong security background, cloud security, identity, secrets management, threat modeling, or experience in a security-engineering / DevSecOps role. Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or similar).
