Our different platform ecosystem includes technologies like JFrog Artifactory, JFrog Xray, SonarQube, GitHub Actions Runners, Crossplane, Backstage, and Ansible Automation Platform. You'll work at the intersection of infrastructure-as-code, cloud-native technologies, and DevOps principles, designing, building, and supporting highly available, scalable, and secure platforms. Your efforts will enable our development teams with robust CI/CD pipelines, slick self-service capabilities, and comprehensive observability solutions.

This includes managing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) documentation and promoting a culture of automation. Containerized Solutions: Design, implement, and maintain containerized solutions using Kubernetes and Docker, including managing deployments on EKS and other Kubernetes environments. Architectural Contributions: Contribute to architectural discussions and technical decisions for the DXO Platform, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and best practices. Automation & Self-Service Enablement: Develop and maintain automation solutions using tools like Ansible, Crossplane, and custom scripts. Empower development teams with self-service capabilities, enabling them to provision resources and deploy applications efficiently. Production Support: Provide expert support for production systems, ensuring high availability, reliability, and optimal performance for all our platforms. Security & Compliance: Implement and maintain security best practices across all platforms, ensuring compliance with organizational policies and industry standards. Accessibility & Automation: Automate testing procedures and document defects to ensure accessibility standards are met across our platforms.

Education

Requirements: Highschool Diploma Required Skills & Experience: 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, Infrastructure Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) roles. Proven hands-on experience designing, building, and operating production systems on AWS and familiarity with Azure. Deep proficiency in Linux and strong scripting skills in Python or similar languages. Extensive experience with CI/CD methodologies and tools, specifically GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Experience with Ansible. Solid understanding of containerization technologies (e.g., Podman, Docker) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift). Strong grasp of infrastructure-as-code principles with experience in tools like Terraform. Experience with monitoring and logging tools including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), CloudWatch, and Log Analytics.
