The impact you will create:

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): You use Terraform to architect and provision the underlying cloud infrastructure that powers our Kubernetes clusters, PostgreSQL databases, and Object Storage, ensuring environment parity from staging to production.

Kubernetes Orchestration: You manage and evolve our production environments using Helm and GitOps workflows to keep the openDesk suite running smoothly across multi-tenant clusters.

Disaster Recovery & Backups: You design and implement robust backup strategies in a cloud-native world using Velero. You ensure that cluster resources, persistent volumes, and application states are backed up to Object Storage (S3) and can be restored in minutes.

Database Reliability: You take ownership of the persistence layer, tuning and securing PostgreSQL and MariaDB clusters to ensure high availability and data integrity.

Identity & Access: You seamlessly integrate IdP/SSO solutions (OIDC/SAML) like Keycloak to provide a secure and unified login experience.

Observability Engineering: You build a world-class monitoring stack using Prometheus (PromQL) and Grafana to turn raw system data into actionable insights and proactive alerts.

Automation First: You replace manual "toil" with elegant code in Python, Go, or Bash, building the tooling that makes our deployments self-healing and repeatable.

Experience and skills you will need:

Provisioning Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of Terraform. You know how to manage state, write modular code, and automate infra-level changes.

Cloud Native Expertise: Deep experience with Kubernetes (CKA/CKS preferred). You understand how pods, services, and ingresses truly interact.

Data Protection: Proven experience with Velero for Kubernetes backup/restore and working with Object Storage (S3-compatible API).

Persistence Layer: Production-level experience with PostgreSQL and MariaDB, specifically regarding High Availability (HA) and backup/recovery strategies.

Observability: Advanced skills in Prometheus and building high-fidelity Grafana dashboards that tell a clear story of system health.

Identity Management: A strong understanding of IAM/SSO workflows and protocols like OAuth, OIDC, and SAML.
