* Implement a package management solution such as Nix to manage helm charts and deployments
* Work within an established Rancher managed Kubernetes implementation
* Build Kubernetes operators when necessary
Observability & Monitoring:
* Implement and maintain telemetry stacks using OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki
* Define SLOs, SLIs, and alerting strategies to ensure system reliability and performance
CI/CD & Automation:
* Good understanding of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI/CD
* Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Ansible, and Nix
* Explore alternatives to Helm for publishing charts and managing releases
Resilience & Disaster Recovery:
* Automated deployment of services and environment to facilitate disaster recovery and/or environment replication
REQUIREMENTS:
* 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles
* Deep experience with Kubernetes, including operator development and Helm/Fleet
* Hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki
* Experience with on-premise deployments and hybrid cloud environments
* Strong understanding of CI/CD methodologies and GitOps workflows
* Strong understanding of functional programming
* Proven ability to automate tasks and build developer-centric tooling
* Experience with Cue is a plus
* Experience with Suse Observability is a plus
