Summary

This company is a leading provider of access control and security management solutions, delivering innovative technology that helps organizations protect people, assets, and facilities around the world. As the company continues its cloud-native transformation, they are investing heavily in modern DevOps practices, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, observability, and infrastructure modernization. This is an opportunity to work across Azure, Digital Ocean, Kubernetes, TeamCity, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, and a broad cloud-native ecosystem while helping shape the future of the platform.

This is not a maintenance-focused DevOps position. We are looking for a technology enthusiast who enjoys researching new tools, automating everything possible, and driving continuous improvement. You'll have ownership over engineering environments, deployment tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and observability while collaborating closely with teams supporting production AKS environments. If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, working directly with customers on real-world deployments, and influencing technical direction, this role offers significant visibility, autonomy, and growth opportunities.
Required Skills & Experience
Deep Linux expertise, including system administration, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and containerized workloads
Strong Docker experience, including knowledge of Docker Swarm environments
Production Kubernetes administration and troubleshooting experience
Experience supporting on-premises software deployments and customer-hosted infrastructure
CI/CD pipeline experience with TeamCity, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar tools
Experience building deployment packages, installers, or deployment automation for customer environments
Hands-on experience with monitoring, observability, logging, and alerting platforms
Experience with load testing and performance testing tools such as k6, Locust, or JMeter
Understanding of messaging systems such as RabbitMQ, NATS, or similar technologies
Relational database experience, preferably PostgreSQL
Strong scripting and automation experience with Python, Bash, Go, or similar languages
Experience with Git-based source control workflows
Solid networking knowledge including DNS, TLS, VPNs, load balancing, and firewall concepts
Strong technical documentation and communication skills
Customer-facing experience supporting installations, upgrades, or technical deployments
Desired Skills & Experience
Prometheus and Grafana implementation and administration experience
Infrastructure-as-Code experience using Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools
Experience with Mend.io or comparable SAST/SCA security platforms
Redis and Elasticsearch administration experience
Azure cloud experience and Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-400)
Digital Ocean infrastructure experience
Experience supporting air-gapped or highly restricted customer environments
Familiarity with SOC 2 compliance and security best practices
Experience with AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot or Claude
Exposure to physical security, access control, or IoT-related technology platforms
Experience introducing and driving adoption of modern DevOps tooling and best practices
