About the role
- Build new client environments on AWS and support the delivery of Kraken customer environments / Kraken Flow environments
- Use Terraform (IaC) to provision and maintain infrastructure in a repeatable, scalable way
- Operate and troubleshoot Kubernetes environments (we use Amazon EKS) to support platform deployments and runtime reliability
- Contribute to platform tooling and automation (often in Python) to reduce manual steps and improve speed/quality of builds
- Help improve delivery tooling and workflows (e.g. CI/CD with CircleCI, deployment tooling, and GitOps with ArgoCD)
- Partner with clients and internal product/engineering teams on integrations, including topics like networking and authentication
- Participate in production support, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement (code reviews, documentation, tech evaluations)
- Collaborate effectively in a remote-first, async team environment (clear written updates, good documentation habits)
Requirements
- AWS: hands-on experience building, running, or supporting AWS infrastructure/services
- Kubernetes: practical exposure to deploying/operating workloads (bonus if EKS), plus Docker/container fundamentals
