- Use Crossplane for declarative, Kubernetes-based infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud resources.
- Write and maintain Ansible playbooks for configuration management, automation, and deployment scripting.
- Embed security throughout the DevOps lifecycle (DevSecOps), including IAM policies, secret management, encryption, and compliance enforcement.
- Build and maintain observability infrastructure, including logging, metrics, alerting, and distributed tracing.
- Champion code review practices, Git branching strategies, and collaboration standards across the engineering organization.
- Drive automated testing integration within CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality and coverage.
Required Qualifications

- Familiarity with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd).
- Experience operating in a fully remote engineering organization.
- Knowledge of container security scanning and runtime protection tools.
- Contributions to open-source DevOps tooling or community projects.
- Based in or near Atlanta, GA (not required but preferred for occasional in-person collaboration).

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
