Devops Ninja - Kubernetes Mastery

Dynamic Infrastructure Specialist

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.

Why This Role Is a Challenge-and an Opportunity If you love dissecting tricky legacy setups, architecting robust automation, and thrive in fast-paced environments where solutions matter more than bureaucracy-this is for you. You'll partner with an equality rare-a "god-like" technical star who's unapologetically passionate. We're looking for someone just as exceptional to complement, challenge, and level up our infrastructure together.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.

Who You Are: Profile & Qualifications

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, 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

What Makes This Role Special

• 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.
