DevOps Ninja

Overview

We\'re a dynamic, creative company in the entertainment industry, navigating complex legacy systems while migrating to modern Kubernetes clusters and object storage. We operate in Kanban, but flexibility is key—finding and fixing issues in real time is part of the rhythm. We pride ourselves on a fun, collaborative culture and are seeking someone long-term who brings planning, autonomy, and technical excellence.

• Architect, design, and maintain scalable, secure Kubernetes clusters and object-storage integrations.
• Migrate legacy systems to cloud-native Kubernetes environments with minimal disruption.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and Helm.
• Automate CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows.
• Proactively monitor, debug, and optimize cluster health, resource usage, and performance.
• Apply advanced Kubernetes networking, RBAC, service meshes, and security best practices.
• Collaborate with developers and ops in Kanban-style sprints—plan and deliver improvements while triaging urgent tickets.
• Document systems and processes clearly and build a knowledge-sharing environment.
• Champion stability, resilience, and continuous improvement of our infrastructure.

Must-Have

• Proven experience managing Kubernetes + Linux in production environments, especially during transitions from legacy systems to clusters.
• Deep autonomy—you make plans, execute them, and follow through without hand-holding.
• Infrastructure-as-Code mastery: Terraform, Ansible, Helm, etc.
• Strong DevOps toolchain skills: CI/CD, Git, automation, alerting.
• Proficiency scripting in languages like Python, Bash, or similar.
• Experience with observability tools (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana).
• Excellent communication skills—must collaborate effectively across teams.
• Problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and fixes issues on the fly with precision.

Nice-to-Have

• Certifications like CKA/CKAD.
• Familiarity with cloud-native object storage (e.g., Ceph, MinIO, S3-compatible systems).
• Experience in entertainment or media tech stacks.
• Experience managing Ruby on Rails and NodeJS applications.

• Long-term commitment: you\'re building something lasting—not fleeting.
• Atmosphere: creative, fast-moving, and supportive; not bureaucratic.
• Shared brilliance: Your counterpart is top-tier—you\'re too. Together you\'ll make systems sing.
• Visible impact: your solutions will directly stabilize and elevate our platform.
• Growth: the chance to lead infrastructure evolution from legacy chaos to streamlined efficiency.
