We are hiring at Pragmatike to expand our team and drive the growth of our internal projects.

Our focus is on developing cutting-edge solutions in Cloud Computing, Blockchain, and Artificial Intelligence, while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Joining us means being part of a passionate team where your ideas and skills directly contribute to shaping tomorrow's technologies.

If you're passionate about applied AI and enjoy solving real problems in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, develop, and maintain scalable and secure infrastructure systems.
• Take ownership of the release lifecycle for Kubernetes-based components delivered to customers (e.g., Helm charts, CRDs, custom binaries, and agents).
• Define and implement robust versioning strategies, upgrade processes, and rollback mechanisms for distributed Kubernetes deployments.
• Automate and secure deployment workflows for both cloud- and on-premise environments.
• Establish secure methods for artifact delivery, including OCI-compliant registries, GitOps-driven pipelines, and private artifact repositories.
• Collaborate with product engineering to define clear boundaries and interfaces between hosted and customer-deployed infrastructure.
• Offer cross-cloud infrastructure support and strategy spanning AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Skills & Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering.
• Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes — including authoring Helm charts, CRDs, and managing custom controllers or operators.
• Proven hands-on expertise with all three major cloud platforms: AWS, GCP, and Azure, with awareness of their specific behaviors and limitations.
• Experience in building and maintaining software distribution models for customer-hosted or hybrid cloud environments.
• Familiar with modern CI/CD tools and pipelines such as GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or CircleCI.
• Proficient in infrastructure-as-code and scripting, including tools like Terraform, Helm, and languages like Bash, Go, or Python.
• Knowledge of secure image distribution and software supply chain tools such as Cosign, SBOMs, and SLSA is a strong advantage.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work across internal engineering teams and directly with customer DevOps teams.

Nice to Have:

• Experience delivering commercial-grade Kubernetes tooling or operators (e.g., Prometheus Operator, Datadog Agent).
• Understanding of Kubernetes RBAC, multi-tenancy, and enterprise-grade deployment practices.
• Familiarity with zero-downtime deployment techniques and service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
• Security expertise in cloud- and Kubernetes ecosystems.

Why Join Us:

• Join an agile and ambitious team working at the frontier of AI and enterprise technology.
• Contribute directly to critical infrastructure powering next-generation applications.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a clear path to growth and leadership.
