Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to develop and evolve our infrastructure, deployment, and automation practices as part of the software engineering team. You will design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and reliable cloud and on-premise environments for Novasign Studio. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and is passionate about automation, CI / CD, and modern DevOps tooling. You will focus on authoring native Kubernetes operators / controllers (Go preferred), building deployment packages for on-prem and AWS (EKS expertise), and implementing hybrid deployments requiring socket programming and concurrency. You will also contribute to best practices in observability, security, and cost optimization.

You will work with a modern stack including Kubernetes (k3d / k3s, Helm, Tilt), Docker, Pulumi, ArgoCD, and a wide range of CNCF and open-source tools. You will help implement GitOps, IaC, and progressive delivery, and support a provider-based architecture for flexibility between cloud and on-premises.
