Jared Malik
@jaredmalik
Senior DevOps Engineer specializing in cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD automation, and security.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 12+ years of experience designing and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I specialize in Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, and CI/CD automation, and have led large migrations and platform builds that cut costs and improved reliability.
At HyperScaleOps I designed multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters, implemented ArgoCD and Helm for zero-downtime deployments, and migrated 100+ microservices to Kubernetes, reducing cloud spend by 40% while achieving high uptime SLAs. I built centralized observability and SLO dashboards using Prometheus, Loki, and Grafana, and implemented canary release flows with Istio and Flagger to minimize rollback time.
I am a strong advocate for DevSecOps and automation, having integrated OPA policy-as-code, Trivy and AquaSec container scanning, Crossplane for provisioning, and Vault for secrets management. I bring a results-driven, compliance-focused approach to platform engineering and SRE practices.
