Some jobs ask you to keep the machinery running. This one asks you to design the machinery itself. The team is building a greenfield managed services product in AWS, and the first order of business is establishing GitOps foundations with ArgoCD. If you’ve spent years untangling Kubernetes clusters and wondering why GitOps isn’t standard everywhere, this is the role where you get to do it right from day one.
The work is both hands-on and architectural: creating and managing ArgoCD applications, fine-tuning synchronization strategies, troubleshooting the inevitable sync issues, and extending functionality with scripting in Python, Bash, or Go. You’ll also make sure observability isn’t an afterthought, because deploying at scale only matters if you can see what’s happening.
