About the Role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with strong development skills to join our Developer Experience (DevX) team. We’re a hybrid DevOps and development team focused on building and operating internal tools, infrastructure, and services that streamline engineering workflows and accelerate delivery across the company.

We are the team behind the Dynamic Environment Kubernetes Operator, which empowers teams to spin up ephemeral, on-demand environments for development, testing, and validation. You can learn more about the project here.

As part of the DevX team, you’ll own both infrastructure and application-level responsibilities. This includes the microservices we build and run, as well as internal platforms like Retool, which we maintain and extend to support our organization’s needs. You’ll work across automation, infrastructure-as-code, and backend development to deliver high-impact tools used daily by engineers across the company.

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 DevOps best practices, including GitOps, progressive delivery, and shift-left testing.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a DevOps, 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 GitLab CI, CircleCI, 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 DevX teams.
• Experience with testing strategies: unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and smoke tests
• DevOps 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 DevOps/Kubernetes ecosystem.
• Familiarity with GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD or Flux.
