📋 Description

• Architect a Kubernetes-native platform that models broadcast infrastructure as custom resources. • Lead the technical strategy leveraging Crossplane compositions and custom Go functions to automate provisioning across multi-account AWS environments and on-prem control rooms. • Design, build, and maintain production-grade Kubernetes operators, controllers, and internal platform APIs in Go. • Actively develop custom Crossplane providers to deeply integrate external enterprise platforms (such as NRCS, Venafi, and Infoblox) into our control plane, managing resource lifecycles and approval workflows. • Lead the design of cloud networking, DNS strategies, and cross-account connectivity across hybrid environments, automating VPC topology and dynamic network routing. • Partner closely with broadcast systems engineers, system integrators, and external vendors to bridge the gap between broadcast hardware and automated infrastructure. • Write RFCs, drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and establish high-confidence CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and GitHub Actions automation. • Own the platform's authorization model, designing hierarchical RBAC systems, resource identifier schemes, and identity integrations that enforce fine-grained access control. • Drive GitOps-based continuous delivery (Flux, Kustomize, Helm) and manage configuration-as-code for compute fleets using Puppet. • Ensure deep operational visibility by designing comprehensive observability and alerting stacks. • Oversee the integration of remote desktop/VDI connectivity solutions, focusing on session authentication, credential management, and gateway routing.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years of experience designing, building, and operating production infrastructure and cloud-native platforms at enterprise scale. • Strong proficiency in Go (systems-level programming, API servers). • Expert-level knowledge of the Kubernetes ecosystem, including CRD/XRD generation, operators, informers, admission webhooks, and RBAC. • Deep production experience with Crossplane, including composite resources, composition functions, and specifically developing custom Crossplane providers in Go to integrate external enterprise platforms. • Extensive production experience with AWS multi-account architectures, cross-account networking patterns, and identity federation. • Production experience with GitOps tooling, specifically Flux (HelmRelease, Kustomization) or ArgoCD for continuous delivery on Kubernetes. • Hands-on experience with Puppet, including module development, PuppetDB, Hiera, and r10k. • Experience designing REST APIs with middleware patterns and modern authentication (OAuth/JWT). • Keen eye for information security, including cross-account IAM trust chains, least-privilege policies, JWT token lifecycles, and secrets abstraction. • Strong background in designing telemetry platforms using Grafana, Prometheus/Mimir, Loki, OpenTelemetry, and metrics collection agents (Alloy, Prometheus Node Exporter). • Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, SQLite or similar relational databases, encompassing schema design, migrations, and query optimization. • Excellent problem-solving skills with a proven ability to present architectural decisions to executives, engage with vendors, and write clear technical documentation.
