Argo CD helps developers own, understand and deploy their K8s deployments via GitOps.. . Today, Argo CD is the third most popular project in the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and is used by 70% of companies who are using Kubernetes in production. The list of Argo CD users includes companies like Intuit, BlackRock, Tesla, Major League Baseball, Peloton, and many more.. . The team founded Akuity in 2021 to enable enterprises to ship software faster and more reliably with modern GitOps best practices.

Partner with engineering teams to build reliability into new features before they ship to production. . . On-Call & Incident Response. . . Participate in an on-call rotation and act as incident commander for high-severity production events. . Build and maintain runbooks, escalation paths, and incident playbooks that keep mean time to resolution low. .

Strong AWS fundamentals across compute (EC2, EKS), networking (VPC, NLB, Route53), storage (S3, RDS), and IAM. . Experience defining and operating against SLOs in production; you've written error budgets, not just read about them. . Proficiency with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or equivalent). . Solid scripting and automation skills; Go, Python, Bash, or similar; you automate what you touch. . Strong written communication: clear runbooks, sharp incident reports, thoughtful post-mortems. .

Background operating infrastructure for other platform or developer tooling companies. . . Our Stack. . . Kubernetes (EKS):  multi-region, enterprise-grade clusters serving Argo CD and Kargo workloads. . AWS: primary cloud provider across all production and DR environments. . Argo CD & Kargo: GitOps delivery tools we build and run ourselves. . Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry for observability. . Terraform and GitOps-driven infrastructure management. . . What We Offer. . . Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience. . Equity participation in a well-funded, growing company. . Fully remote: work from anywhere within US time zones (Pacific through Eastern), including Canada and other regions. . Home office stipend and equipment budget. .
