DevOps Engineer

Inframark is a leading company in Automation and Intelligence focused on delivering innovative solutions for water and wastewater plants. The DevOps Engineer will take ownership of infrastructure, modernizing and stabilizing the cloud-based platform while following best practices and proactively improving operations.

Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of production monitoring and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch—proactively identify issues before they become incidents
• Modernize production EKS cluster with GitOps practices (ArgoCD), comprehensive monitoring, and proper deployment workflows following industry best practices
• Streamline staging deployment process; eliminate branch-based workarounds and establish clean GitOps patterns
• Design infrastructure patterns that scale to hundreds of customers and own AWS infrastructure operations including patching, maintenance, cost optimization, and security compliance—stay ahead of requirements
• Expand into MLOps—building the infrastructure that enables data scientists to deploy models at scale across multiple utility customers once DevOps operations are automated
• Manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS) including pod migrations, resource optimization, troubleshooting, and security updates—proactively, not reactively
• Maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible following best practices—all changes tested in non-production before deployment
• Support engineering teams with infrastructure needs, unblock them quickly, and establish self-service patterns where possible—anticipate needs, don't wait for requests
• Manage message queue infrastructure (Kafka/Redpanda) including retention policies, storage optimization, and performance tuning
• Document infrastructure, create runbooks, and automate operational tasks to move systems into maintenance mode
• Clean up technical debt—proactively identify infrastructure to decommission, resources to consolidate, and costs to optimize

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or site reliability engineering
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership and initiative—you see what needs to be done and do it without waiting for direction
• Deep knowledge of DevOps and infrastructure best practices—you know what good looks like and implement it proactively
• Strong Kubernetes experience (EKS preferred) including cluster management, deployments, services, and troubleshooting
• Hands-on AWS experience (EC2, EKS, ECS, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, S3)
• Infrastructure as code proficiency (Terraform and Ansible)
• GitOps experience (ArgoCD, Flux, or similar)
• CI/CD pipeline experience (Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
• Monitoring and observability experience (Prometheus and Grafana preferred)
• Python scripting ability for automation and tooling
• US citizenship (required for AWS GovCloud access)
• Self-starter mentality—you identify problems and opportunities, then drive solutions to completion
• Proven track record of delivering tested, high-quality infrastructure changes on schedule
• Excellent communication skills—proactive about sharing status, raising blockers, and documenting decisions
• Curiosity about machine learning and interest in transitioning to MLOps as the platform matures
• Any MLOps or ML infrastructure experience (KServe, Kubeflow, SageMaker, model serving)
• Experience with data pipelines, feature engineering, or supporting data science teams
• AWS GovCloud experience and understanding of compliance requirements (FedRAMP)
• Experience with message queue systems (Kafka, Redpanda)
• Container security and vulnerability scanning (Snyk)
• Background in SaaS platforms, IoT, or critical infrastructure
