## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Operate production Kubernetes clusters and build scalable, declarative infrastructure using Terraform or similar tools.
- Deploy and maintain Kubernetes environments, manage system components, and troubleshoot applications running on the platform.
- Design CI/CD workflows with ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, CodeBuild, or similar tools, covering both infrastructure and application deployments.
- Design and operate observability systems using time-series metrics, logs, and dashboards with tools like Prometheus, Loki, Mimir, Grafana, and CloudWatch.
- Diagnose tough networking and storage issues across complex, distributed systems.
- Implement secure-by-default infrastructure and contribute to architecture reviews and threat models.
- Automate operational workflows using scripting or programming in Python, Go, or Bash.
- Participate in on-call rotation, respond to incidents, troubleshoot under pressure, and drive postmortems to improve system reliability.
- Design systems with security in mind, applying principles like least privilege and threat modeling.

## Requirements
- Experienced with GitOps-style systems and treating both infrastructure and application delivery as code.
- Have scaled deployment automation using patterns like ArgoCD ApplicationSets or similar tooling.
- Comfortable in Linux, fluent in shell scripting, and productive in languages like Python or Go.
- Comfortable operating within a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure), with a strong understanding of the underlying components.
- Participated in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents, troubleshooting under pressure, and driving postmortems.
- Bring a strong technical foundation, excellent problem-solving skills, and a genuine commitment to high-quality work.
- Take ownership, collaborate openly, and contribute to a culture of clarity, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
- Eager to dive into blockchain technology.
- Enjoy solving infrastructure problems in unconventional ways and thinking beyond standard patterns.
- Use tools like k9s or ArgoCD for speed and abstraction, but comfortable dropping into YAML, logs, or low-level debugging when needed.
- Curious about how things work under the hood and not satisfied with surface-level fixes.

## Nice-to-Haves
- SREs come from a wide range of backgrounds. Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, and a drive to build reliable systems are key, even if experience doesn’t perfectly match every bullet point.
