Responsibilities

- Build and maintain automated workflow orchestration using Argo Workflows — CI pipelines, scheduled jobs, and event-driven automation
- Architect, operate, and scale production Kubernetes environments that the rest of the platform runs on
- Design and run saturation and load testing with k6 — building reusable test templates and wiring them into the delivery pipeline
- Implement policy enforcement and admission control with Kyverno, including signed/verified container image policies
- Develop and use automation tools effectively to operate, manage, and scale production and development environments quickly
- Design and execute new platform capabilities while continuously improving existing ones
- Participate in regular customer and internal EverOps scrums
- Provide operational support and project deployments for our customer environments
