Résumé du poste

KFC is seeking a Cloud Engineer in Olympia, WA. The role focuses on Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm, and infrastructure-as-code, with a strong emphasis on documenting architecture and decision-making for the wider organization.

Expect a hands-on environment where six responsibilities drive reliability, scalability, and clear technical communication across the enterprise.

• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written.
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email.
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations.

Responsabilités

• Hand off Helm runbooks so the next on-call at KFC sleeps better.
• Keep the technology Amazon EKS service humming through Olympia's holiday traffic surge.
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production.
• Reverse-engineer the warm-yet-rigorous Project Management format KFC inherited and never documented.
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org.
