• Automate improvements to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible) for provisioning, upgrades, and configuration management.
• Maintain observability tools (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana) to ensure accurate monitoring, alerting, and logging.
• Troubleshoot application and infrastructure issues across containerized environments.
• Collaborate with engineers across Cloud Operations, Nautobot Core, and Nautobot Apps teams to deliver cross-functional solutions.
WHAT YOU BRING:
• Passion for reliability, customer success, and operational excellence.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and quickly identify root causes.
• Strong communication skills—able to clearly convey technical concepts to both peers and customers.
• A proactive mindset, looking for opportunities to improve processes and prevent issues before they occur.
• Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and technologies
WHAT YOU HAVE:
• 3–5 years of experience applying DevOps or SRE practices to production systems.
• 2+ years of experience operating workloads in AWS, with a focus on EKS, EC2, IAM, and networking.
• 2+ years working with Kubernetes (preferably in production) and Helm.
• Experience with IaC tools such as Terraform and configuration management tools like Ansible.
