• Roll out and standardize ArgoCD and Argo Workflows as part of our GitOps and automation strategy.
• Collaborate with development teams to design and operate microservices and event-driven architectures at scale.
• Troubleshoot incidents, drive root-cause analysis, and contribute to postmortems.
• Design, deploy, and manage HashiCorp Vault, implementing secret management, access policies, and integrations with workloads on EKS.

What will you bring to the table?

• Experience in designing multi-cluster EKS architectures or hybrid Kubernetes setups.
• Familiarity with RBAC design, OIDC authentication, and Vault secret injection into workloads.
• Experience designing distributed, event-driven systems and microservice architectures.
• Familiarity with SRE practices, monitoring, automation, release engineering, and incident response.
