Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain robust GitLab CI/CD pipelines so developers can ship backend and frontend services faster and more reliably.
• Automate manual tasks and streamline workflows across the software development lifecycle, from build and test through Helm updates and GitOps deployments using Argo CD.
• Manage and improve our Kubernetes infrastructure and application configurations, including Deployments, Ingress/Routes, Secrets, and ConfigMaps.
• Implement and champion security best practices (DevSecOps) in our pipelines, including SAST, secret scanning, SCA/SBOM, and container scanning.
• Participate in capacity planning and performance tuning so PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and the cluster can handle growth.
• Help ensure smooth, zero-downtime releases and participate in an on-call rotation.

Areas for Impact & Growth

• Take ownership of designing and architecting GitOps and platform solutions.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor for other team members.
