Senior DevOps engineer specializing in Kubernetes platforms on AWS and on-prem.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of production experience building and operating Kubernetes-based platforms across cloud and on-prem environments. I own end-to-end DevOps responsibilities and lead Kubernetes platform initiatives, partnering closely with engineering and stakeholders to deliver reliable systems.
At Fraud.com, I own the full lifecycle of DevOps and platform engineering across AWS and on-prem Kubernetes environments. I design, deploy, and maintain multiple Kubernetes clusters (EKS, RKE2, OKD) for high availability, security, and scalability, while migrating legacy workloads to Kubernetes using Helm-based deployments.
I architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, ArgoWorkflows) to enable automated, repeatable, and rollback-safe releases, and I define standards and best practices as the sole DevOps engineer. I also reduce operational costs through infrastructure optimizations, improve stability and observability with Prometheus/Grafana, and support customer-facing technical meetings on Kubernetes architecture, migrations, and operational best practices.
