Argocd information

Does Kubernetes pay well?

Argocd is a tool used for deploying and managing applications in Kubernetes environments. Salaries for roles involving Kubernetes and related tools typically depend on experience, location, and certifications, with many positions offering competitive compensation in the tech industry.

What is the difference between Argocd vs Kubernetes Administrator?

AspectArgocdKubernetes Administrator
Primary RoleContinuous delivery and deployment automation for KubernetesManaging, configuring, and maintaining Kubernetes clusters
Required SkillsGitOps, YAML, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelinesKubernetes architecture, cluster management, networking, security
CertificationsCertified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), GitOps certificationsCertified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), CKS
Work EnvironmentDevOps teams, cloud environments, automation pipelinesCluster operations, infrastructure management, troubleshooting

While Argocd focuses on automating Kubernetes deployments through GitOps practices, Kubernetes Administrators handle the overall management and maintenance of Kubernetes clusters. Both roles require Kubernetes knowledge but serve different functions within the DevOps ecosystem.

What does ArgoCD stand for?

ArgoCD is a declarative continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, used to automate deployment and management of applications. It does not stand for an acronym but is named after the Greek mythological ship Argo, emphasizing its focus on navigation and automation in software deployment environments.

Is Argo CD better than Jenkins?

Argocd and Jenkins are both popular tools for DevOps automation, but they serve different purposes. Argocd is a declarative continuous delivery tool focused on Kubernetes, while Jenkins is a versatile automation server used for building, testing, and deploying applications across various environments. The choice depends on the specific deployment needs and environment setup of the job role.

What companies use Argocd?

Many companies across various industries use Argocd for continuous delivery and Kubernetes deployment automation. Organizations adopting DevOps practices often implement Argocd to manage their containerized applications efficiently, especially in environments requiring GitOps workflows and declarative configuration management.

Overview

Join the leader in providing smarter solutions for a safer world.

The property technology space is growing rapidly, and Kastle Systems is leading the way. Kastle Systems is the leader in managed security, with a track record of introducing innovative technologies to serve over 460M square feet of real estate globally. Clients span the commercial and multifamily real estate, education, and construction industries and the customers they serve. Delivering a world class customer experience drives everything we do, and Kastle’s mission is to be our customers’ best service provider and to ensure that their security the most effective, efficient and convenient. Kastle's integrated security solution, including access control, video, and remote video monitoring, significantly reduces costs and improves the critically important 24x7 performance for building owners, developers and tenants.

Site Reliability Engineer II

The SRE II sits at the intersection of software engineering and platform operations. You will own the reliability, scalability, and operational hygiene of Kastle’s core infrastructure – engineering away toil, hardening deployment pipelines, and partnering with product engineering teams to make new services production-ready from day one.

This is a mid-level individual contributor role. You are expected to execute technical work independently, drive reliability improvements end-to-end, and participate meaningfully in architecture discussions. You will carry on-call responsibilities as part of a shared rotation with a well-defined escalation model and a strong blameless post-incident review culture.

The team is in the middle of a meaningful platform evolution: formalizing multi-tier release pipelines (Dev → QA → Integration → UAT → Prod) with ArgoCD-based approval gates, building out SLI/SLO frameworks, and migrating toward full GitOps. You will be a hands-on contributor to all of it.

Key Responsibilities:Release Engineering & GitOps
  • Own and evolve the multi-stage deployment pipeline using ArgoCD, including approval gates, promotion policies, and rollback mechanisms.
  • Maintain trunk-based branching discipline and enforce release governance standards across the engineering organization.
  • Manage feature flag lifecycle – from creation and gradual rollout to deprecation – in coordination with product and QA teams.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that enable safe, frequent, and auditable deployments.
Infrastructure as Code & Cloud Operations
  • Provision and manage Azure infrastructure using Terraform or OpenTofu, maintaining drift-free state aligned with GitOps principles.
  • Own Kubernetes cluster operations including workload scheduling, resource optimization, RBAC, network policy, and cost governance.
  • Identify and act on infrastructure cost optimization opportunities (compute rightsizing, storage tier selection, idle resource elimination).
  • Support Crossplane or similar operator patterns for Kubernetes-native infrastructure management where applicable.
Reliability & Observability
  • Define, instrument, and enforce SLIs and SLOs in partnership with product engineering teams.
  • Build and maintain observability infrastructure – metrics, logs, and distributed traces – using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent tooling.
  • Conduct proactive capacity planning and performance tuning across multi-tenant, distributed environments.
  • Establish and maintain runbooks, dashboards, and alerting policies that reduce cognitive overhead during incidents.
Incident Management
  • Participate in shared on-call rotation covering core platform and infrastructure services; on-call load is balanced across the team with structured handoff practices.
  • Lead mitigation of live production incidents with a focus on minimizing MTTR and clear stakeholder communication under pressure.
  • Facilitate blameless post-incident reviews and drive preventative engineering to closure – not just documentation.
Engineering Partnership
  • Embed with product engineering teams during design and architecture phases to establish reliability, scalability, and security requirements before code is written.
  • Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation for infrastructure architecture, operational procedures, and onboarding guides.
  • Push back constructively when proposed designs compromise reliability or operability, proposing alternatives rather than just raising concerns.

In addition to a great work environment, we provide excellent benefits (Medical/Dental/Vision, 401K, Tuition/Training Assistance, BrightHorizons Lifestyle Assistance, Wellness Program, etc.) and we're proud to be a Certified Great Place to Work!
