Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a senior DevOps/Platform engineer in New Jersey to own and scale enterprise CI/CD pipelines. You will architect IaC-driven self-service platforms and enforce RBAC across Kubernetes and cloud IAM. The role focuses on cloud-native infra, observability, and security across Azure and AWS.

You will implement canary/blue-green deployment patterns, strengthen policy-as-code, and drive scalable automation for provisioning, deploying, and monitoring workloads.

Qualifications

• Proven expertise with cloud platforms (Azure and AWS) and Kubernetes at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own and scale enterprise-wide CI/CD pipelines using modern orchestration tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, CI, ArgoCD)
• Architect developer self-service platforms with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
• Implement RBAC across Kubernetes, cloud IAM, and toolchains for security/compliance
• Build extensible automation frameworks to provision, deploy, monitor workloads with minimal friction
• Evaluate next-generation CI/CD features like ephemeral environments and policy-as-code enforcement
• Manage cloud-native infrastructure (Azure and AWS) focusing on resiliency and cost optimization
• Lead adoption of Kubernetes with advanced configuration (service mesh, Cilium, Calico, OPA/Gatekeeper)

Responsibilities

• Own and scale enterprise-wide CI/CD pipelines using modern orchestration tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, CI, ArgoCD)
• Architect developer self-service platforms with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
• Implement role-based access controls (RBAC) across Kubernetes, cloud IAM, and toolchains to ensure compliance and security
• Build extensible automation frameworks enabling teams to provision, deploy, and monitor workloads with minimal friction
• Evaluate and integrate next‑generation CI/CD features such as ephemeral environments, policy‑as‑code enforcement, and test environment provisioning on demand
• Manage cloud‑native infrastructure (Azure and AWS) with a focus on resiliency, scalability, and cost optimization as it pertains to product workloads
• Lead adoption of Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms with advanced configuration (e.g., service mesh, Cilium, Calico, OPA/Gatekeeper)

Requirements

• Proven expertise with cloud platforms (Azure and AWS required)
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, service mesh, and containerized deployments at scale
• Deep knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Terragrunt) and configuration management
• Proficiency in scripting/programming (Python, Go, Bash, PowerShell) for automation and tooling
• Advanced understanding of CI/CD best practices, including GitOps workflows and progressive delivery (canary, blue/green)
• Familiarity with networking (VPC design, ingress/egress, load balancing, CNI plugins)
• Strong foundation in distributed systems, scaling, fault tolerance, and reliability engineering
• Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Dynatrace) and incident management
• Understanding of modern security controls, secrets management, and compliance frameworks
