Job description

Senior DevOps Engineer — Miami (Hybrid)

(Must be local to Miami area or commutable distance. If willing to relocate, please specify on your application.)

About The Role

As a Senior DevOps Engineer you will be part of the Infrastructure Team responsible for Boats Group's internal developer platform. The platform provides self-service infrastructure for 500+ repositories across 13 international marketplace brands, running on AWS with EKS as the primary compute target.

You’ll own and evolve the platform that engineering teams use every day: Kubernetes clusters, GitOps delivery pipelines, CI/CD automation, observability, Cloudflare edge infrastructure, and Terraform/Atlantis-based infrastructure provisioning. You will also drive active migrations from legacy infrastructure (Jenkins, ECS, CloudFormation) to the modern platform.

A successful candidate is someone who thinks in systems — you understand how a Helm chart, an ArgoCD ApplicationSet, a Terraform module, and a GitHub Actions workflow connect to deliver a service from PR to production. You’re comfortable operating at scale (200+ deployed services, multi-cluster EKS) and you know when to automate and when to simplify. Boats Group is a heavy AI adopter — LLMs and AI coding tools are part of everyday engineering work, and we expect you to bring real experience using them.

Every day is different: one day you’re debugging a Karpenter node scaling issue, the next you’re writing Terraform modules with Atlantis PR workflows, the next you’re migrating a Jenkins pipeline to GitHub Actions. You won’t be bored.

What You’ll Do

• Operate and evolve our multi-cluster EKS platform, ArgoCD GitOps (200+ ApplicationSets), and Helm charts
• Write Terraform modules and manage infrastructure changes via Atlantis PR workflows
• Maintain and extend GitHub Actions reusable workflows and composite actions
• Manage the Grafana LGTM observability stack (Mimir, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry)
• Manage Cloudflare edge infrastructure — 70+ domains, WAF, DNS, Workers, Bot Management
• Migrate legacy services and pipelines from ECS/Jenkins/CloudFormation to the modern platform
• Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, MCP integrations) daily to accelerate infrastructure work
• Improve deployment safety with progressive delivery (Argo Rollouts, Kargo)
• Monitor and optimize AWS spending, security policies (Kyverno, RBAC), and IAM trust chains
• Participate in on-call coverage for production outages

What You Must Have

• Kubernetes — EKS operations, pod/node troubleshooting, RBAC, networking
• GitOps — ArgoCD or Flux; reconciliation model, sync failure debugging
• IaC — Terraform/Terragrunt at scale; Atlantis PR-based workflows
• CI/CD — GitHub Actions (or similar) reusable workflows, not just consuming pipelines
• AWS — Multi-account, IAM/OIDC, EKS, ECR, RDS, S3, SQS, VPC, CloudWatch
• Helm — Writing and maintaining production charts, values layering, template debugging
• Observability — Prometheus/Grafana stack; OpenTelemetry, Mimir, or Loki a plus
• SRE practices — SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, incident response, blameless postmortems
• AI/LLM fluency — Daily use of AI coding tools; prompt engineering, code generation, critical evaluation of LLM output

What You Should Have

• K8s Ecosystem: Karpenter, Cilium, KEDA, Kyverno, External Secrets, cert-manager, Argo Rollouts/Kargo
• IaC & CI/CD: Terraform/Terragrunt module authoring, Atlantis, GitHub Actions (composite actions + reusable workflows), ArgoCD ApplicationSets, ECR image lifecycle
• Migration: Jenkins - GHA, ECS - EKS, CloudFormation - Terraform, monolith decomposition
• Languages: TypeScript/Node.js (primary ecosystem), Python, Go (bonus), Bash
• AWS: EKS, ECR, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, DocumentDB, Elasticsearch, S3, SQS, EventBridge, IAM/OIDC, Cognito, SSM, VPC, Route53, CloudFront, CloudWatch, Athena, Organizations
• Observability: Grafana, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry (Collector + SDK), Prometheus, PagerDuty
• Cloudflare: CDN, DNS, WAF, Bot Management, Workers (TypeScript/Hono, KV, R2), Terraform at scale, Logpush
• AI & Automation: Claude Code / Cursor / Copilot, MCP server integrations, prompt engineering for infrastructure tasks
• Bonus: Envoy Gateway, FinOps, Snowflake, prior software development experience

What You'll Receive

• Hybrid Work Flexibility: Embrace a balanced work model with remote work on Mondays and Fridays and in-office collaboration from Tuesday to Thursday.
• Generous Time Off: With a strong focus on work/life balance, we offer all employees paid time off starting on day one, multiple paid holidays throughout the year, your birthday off, and a winter break at the end of the year.
• Volunteering Time: Participate in our volunteer program with 4 paid days annually to contribute to your community.
• Modern Office Perks: Our vibrant Miami office features cutting-edge amenities, such as an electric sit/stand desk, dual monitors, a gym, and a variety of snacks and beverages.
• Comprehensive Benefits Package: Enjoy top-tier Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life insurance, along with a 401(k) plan featuring a 4% match.
• Commuter Benefits: Park conveniently in our building's garage at no charge to you. For train commuters, we subsidize most, if not all, of your monthly pass expenses.
