About the role

Join a deeply technical platform engineering team focused on building scalable, high-availability infrastructure in a hybrid environment. This role offers meaningful ownership across core components of the stack—from bare-metal Kubernetes clusters and custom container runtimes to distributed storage, CI/CD automation, and observability systems. You’ll lead operational efforts that directly impact platform uptime and performance, while building and refining tooling used by multiple engineering teams across the company.

The environment is hands-on and high-trust, with the expectation that you’ll bring strong systems intuition, operational depth, and a collaborative mindset. You’ll work with ArgoCD, Argo Workflows, GH Actions, and Atlantis in production, while driving improvements in automation, incident response, and developer experience.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 4+ years of experience in operations or SRE roles, including production support and platform ownership
  • Strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in bare-metal or cloud-native environments
  • Proven ability to design and implement monitoring, disaster recovery, and observability systems (e.g., Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, LGTM stack)

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Familiarity with distributed file systems such as Ceph, and on-prem hardware management
  • Experience with IaC tools like Terraform and Puppet for provisioning and system state management
  • Exposure to physical or virtual network infrastructure (e.g., Juniper) and hybrid cloud topologies

Daily Responsibilities

  • Hands-On Engineering: 75%
  • Team Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work: 25%

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis now and in the future.

Accommodation will be provided in all parts of the hiring process as required under Motion Recruitment’s Employment Accommodation policy. Applicants need to make their needs known in advance.
