Senior Full Stack Web Developer Jobs in Charleston, SC

We are seeking a Full Stack Developer & DevOps Engineer to support and expand our hybrid infrastructure, development workflows, and system deployment capabilities. This role is ideal for someone with strong hands-on experience in Kubernetes-based environments (including K8s and K3s), secure identity frameworks, and modern DevOps practices.

In this position, you will work across the full development and deployment stack—building application features, maintaining secure and resilient infrastructure, and supporting containerized environments using Harbor, Quay.io, and similar registries. You’ll help design and manage on-premise cloud-like environments, support Infrastructure-as-Code workflows, and contribute to secure system architectures leveraging Keycloak and zero-trust principles.

This role requires a strong foundation in Linux, container orchestration, and automated deployment practices. Candidates with experience supporting hybrid environments, CI/CD pipelines, and distributed systems will excel.

If you enjoy working across the full stack, building reliable deployment processes, and shaping modern infrastructure within a dynamic engineering team, we invite you to apply.
