Devops Engineer Kubernetes Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are sharing a specialised full-time opportunity for experienced Cloud and DevOps Engineers with strong hands‑on expertise in Kubernetes operations, AWS infrastructure, Infrastructure-as-Code, and production CI/CD environments.

This role supports advanced infrastructure-focused technical work involving cloud systems, cluster operations, infrastructure automation, and deployment pipelines. Selected engineers will design and evaluate challenging technical tasks, diagnose production‑style infrastructure issues, develop rigorous solutions, and contribute expert feedback across Kubernetes, AWS, IaC, and DevOps workflows.

Key Responsibilities Kubernetes Operations & Troubleshooting

• Design and evaluate technically challenging Kubernetes infrastructure tasks
• Diagnose cluster failures and identify underlying configuration, networking, scheduling, resource, or service issues
• Develop technically accurate solutions to complex Kubernetes operational problems
• Review proposed remediation approaches for correctness and production feasibility
• Apply hands‑on operational judgement beyond basic manifest authoring or managed‑control‑plane usage

AWS Cloud Infrastructure

• Design and review infrastructure scenarios involving production AWS environments
• Evaluate integrations involving AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB
• Assess architecture, service configuration, dependencies, and operational considerations
• Identify technically incorrect assumptions or weak infrastructure designs
• Review solutions for scalability, reliability, and practical implementation quality

Infrastructure-as-Code

• Design and evaluate infrastructure automation using Terraform and/or AWS CDK
• Review IaC architecture, resource definitions, dependencies, and deployment approaches
• Assess maintainability, correctness, and operational safety of infrastructure definitions
• Identify configuration weaknesses and infrastructure automation risks
• Develop clear reference solutions for complex IaC scenarios

CI/CD Engineering

• Evaluate CI/CD pipeline designs and deployment workflows
• Review build, test, release, and deployment automation for technical soundness
• Assess pipeline dependencies, failure handling, and operational reliability
• Identify gaps in deployment logic, validation, or rollback planning
• Evaluate approaches for maintaining reliable delivery across production environments

Technical Task Design

• Design challenging, domain-relevant problems involving cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and automation
• Write accurate and well‑structured solutions to infrastructure engineering tasks
• Develop scenarios that test practical diagnostic and engineering judgement
• Ensure tasks reflect realistic production environments and engineering constraints
• Calibrate technical difficulty and expected solution quality

Evaluation & Technical Review

• Evaluate infrastructure engineering tasks and proposed solutions
• Assess technical work for correctness, completeness, and production readiness
• Identify infrastructure, architectural, automation, and reasoning errors
• Provide clear written technical feedback
• Distinguish substantive engineering failures from minor implementation differences

Rubrics & Quality Standards

• Develop detailed evaluation frameworks for infrastructure engineering tasks
• Define criteria for cluster failure diagnosis, IaC design quality, and CI/CD reasoning
• Establish clear standards for technically correct and production‑appropriate solutions
• Apply evaluation criteria consistently across complex engineering scenarios
• Collaborate with other technical experts to maintain accuracy and consistency

Technical Knowledge Development

• Help identify gaps in cloud infrastructure and DevOps reasoning
• Contribute expert knowledge across Kubernetes operations, AWS services, Infrastructure-as-Code, and deployment engineering
• Explain complex technical decisions clearly and precisely
• Evaluate unfamiliar infrastructure scenarios using first‑principles engineering judgement
• Support improvement of technical training and evaluation materials

Ideal Profile

• 4+ years of dedicated professional experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, platform engineering, or a closely related field
• Experience as a DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), or similar professional
• Strong hands‑on production experience operating Kubernetes
• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and repair Kubernetes cluster failures, beyond simply authoring manifests or using managed control planes
• Production experience with Terraform and/or AWS CDK
• Direct production experience integrating AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB
• Experience building and owning CI/CD pipelines
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, production reliability, and operational troubleshooting
• Demonstrable professional progression within infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering
• Strong written communication skills and ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly
• Professional experience within recognised, technically rigorous organisations is preferred

Engagement Details

• Full‑time position
• Fully remote within the United States
• 40 hours per week
• Weekday availability required
• Compensation: $65-$100/hour
• Work focuses on Kubernetes operations, AWS infrastructure, Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, and related technical evaluation
• Collaboration with research, engineering, and other subject‑matter experts
• Opportunity to contribute to advanced AI infrastructure and technical evaluation workstreams
