Job description

The DevOps Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Public Service Institute is honest about both.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across NM engineering teams
• Keep Kubernetes schemas backward-compatible so Public Service Institute never forces a breaking upgrade
• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
• Pull PostgreSQL telemetry into dashboards Public Service Institute leaders actually open
• Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
• Sketch the Networking architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
• Own the people-centered edge cases in Public Service Institute's Kubernetes billing nobody else wants to touch

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
• Curiosity and a continuous drive to sharpen your technology craft
• Solid Networking grounding, plus RabbitMQ you can pick up on the fly
