About the role

In This Role, You Will

  • Design and build continuous deployment infrastructure that safely rolls out changes across dozens of Kubernetes clusters and global regions.
  • Develop systems for progressive delivery, including canary releases, staged rollouts, and automated rollback.
  • Improve engineering velocity by reducing friction in the release pipeline and automating manual operational workflows.
  • Work with product and infrastructure teams to ensure their services are deployable, observable, and resilient at scale.
  • Implement and evolve deployment methodologies such as GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and progressive delivery patterns.
  • Build systems that automatically evaluate deployment health using metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to detect regressions and trigger safe rollbacks.
  • Build systems that support agent-assisted or autonomous deployment workflows using modern AI tooling.

Technologies commonly used in this environment include:

  • Kubernetes for large-scale container orchestration and runtime infrastructure
  • Python and FastAPI for internal services
  • Terraform for infrastructure as code
  • GitOps-based deployment workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux, or similar systems)
  • Buildkite for CI orchestration

You may be a strong fit if you:

  • Have worked with Kubernetes-based deployment systems at scale
  • Have experience building or operating continuous deployment platforms
  • Are familiar with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux
  • Are excited about building AI-assisted systems and agents that intelligently shepherd software changes from commit to safe production rollout.
  • Care deeply about safe production rollouts and minimizing blast radius
  • Enjoy building internal platforms that improve developer productivity across the organization
