DevOps / Platform Engineer (Mid-Level)

About the job

Our team focuses on building and supporting government IT web applications that improve internal processe and enhance operational efficiency. By modernizing legacy systems and introducing user-centric solutions, we aim to streamline workflows and enable more effective decision-making.

We believe that well-designed digital systems play a critical role in transforming how public sector organizations operate. As governments continue to digitize and scale their services, our mission is to build reliable, secure, and scalable applications that can support these evolving needs.

You will be part of a cross-functional team working closely with product managers, engineers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that directly improve how services are delivered and experienced at scale.

What you’ll do

• Operate and continuously improve a hybrid Kubernetes platform (on-prem + cloud)
• Collaborate with the team to evolve:
• Kubernetes workloads, operators, and internal tooling
• Security guardrails and runtime hardening
• Observability (metrics, logs, alerts)
• Help implement, test, and refine disaster recovery and backup solutions
• Participate in troubleshooting, post-incident reviews, and reliability improvements
• Take part in a shared on-call rotation to support production systems, with clear runbooks and team support

Tech stack (current)

• Kubernetes OS: Talos Linux
• GitOps: Flux
• Databases: PostgreSQL (CloudNativePG / CNPG)
• Containers & CI/CD: Docker, container registries, CI pipelines
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana (or similar)
• Cloud: AWS (EKS, ECR, S3)

You don’t need to be an expert in all of the above — we value solid fundamentals and willingness to learn.

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience working with Kubernetes or container platforms
• Comfortable operating Linux-based systems and CI/CD pipelines
• Practical experience with production environments
• Working understanding of security, reliability, and operational best practices
• Comfortable participating in on-call rotations and incident response as part of a team
• Enjoys collaborating, learning, and improving existing systems

Nice to have

• Experience or exposure to Talos Linux
• Familiarity with Flux or other GitOps tools
• Experience operating PostgreSQL in Kubernetes (CNPG or similar operators)
• Experience in platform, infrastructure, or SRE-style teams
