Job Description
Do you enjoy designing Terraform modules from scratch, building clean deployment pipelines, and rolling out new services to Kubernetes without endless approval chains?
Would you get a buzz from implementing zero-downtime release patterns that think big and include things like blue/green Subnets or whole platform canary deployments?
Then you’ll want to hear about what we’re building.
