About the RoleWe're looking for a hands-on engineer to build the security and monitoring for our Kubernetes platform, including the PostgreSQL databases that run on it in containers. This is a builder role, not a user role. You'll write the code that secures and monitors the platform, automate everything, and take part in on-call support for production systems.What You'll DoBuild and secure the Kubernetes platform using infrastructure as code.Run containerized PostgreSQL clusters, including replication, failover and backups.Build the metrics pipeline (postgres_exporter, Telegraf, InfluxDB) along with Grafana dashboards and alerts.Write Ansible playbooks and roles that configure servers consistently.Define infrastructure in Terraform and deliver changes through reviewed CI/CD pipelines.Develop Python tools and services that automate operations and security.Deploy and configure open-source security tooling, and keep insecure changes from reaching production.Take part in on-call rotation and incident response, including root-cause analysis and follow-up fixes.Must-Have SkillsHands-on experience running PostgreSQL in Docker or Kubernetes, using StatefulSets, streaming replication and failover tooling such as Patroni or CloudNativePG.InfluxDB, including Telegraf and Flux or InfluxQL.
