Pear Tree recruits across IT, sales & marketing, finance, creative, admin and operations roles, emphasizing cost savings, direct pay to talent, and secure onboarding workflows.

📋 Description

• Platform & infrastructure operations: Help run and maintain the Kubernetes-based hosting environment and AWS infrastructure hosting client Drupal and Laravel applications. • Environment migration & configuration: Help migrate and configure client applications into new Kubernetes environments, standing up, tuning, and validating environments as the estate evolves. • Incident response & on-call: Contribute to the response to outages and security incidents: detection, containment, remediation, and reporting. Monitor alerting daily and ensure nothing is left unhandled. Take part in incident fire drills to keep response sharp. • CI/CD & deployments: Execute go-lives for new and re-platformed sites, resolve pipeline failures, and improve deployment workflows. • Security, access & compliance: Help manage identity and access across Google Workspace, Atlassian, hosting, and version control. Support staff onboarding and secure offboarding, including device management. Contribute to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance work: maintaining controls, evidence, and audit readiness. Operate within segregated-environment boundaries, where access to certain systems is restricted under compliance and client contractual requirements. • Monitoring & observability: Maintain, improve, and stand up monitoring and alerting so problems are caught before clients notice. • Domains, DNS & SSL: Resolve DNS issues and manage domain and SSL/TLS certificate lifecycles for client and internal domains. • Backup & disaster recovery: Run backup restore tests and quarterly DR drills, demonstrating sub-one-hour recovery. • Cost & vendor management: Help stay on top of SaaS and infrastructure spend, vendor relationships, and renewals. • Automation & workflow: Help drive down the automation backlog, turning manual runbooks into scripted, repeatable workflows and applying AI where it earns its place

🎯 Requirements

• Solid Linux systems administration and strong scripting/automation skills (e.g. Bash, Python) • Strong automation instincts and a genuine grasp of workflow design: you see the repetitive process and reach for a way to automate it • Hands-on experience with workflow and automation tooling (e.g. n8n, or similar) • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads (the hosting platform runs on Kubernetes, so this is central) • Experience migrating and configuring workloads across Kubernetes environments. • Experience with containerized hosting and cloud infrastructure: Docker and AWS • Experience running CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket Pipelines used here) • A calm, methodical approach to incident response and production troubleshooting under pressure • Sound judgement on security and access control, with a least-privilege mindset • Exposure to compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, and the discipline to maintain controls and evidence • Comfortable working within governed access boundaries, where some environments are access-restricted for compliance and contractual reasons • The skill and self-sufficiency to run a platform like this largely on your own, while working within a small team and its governance • Able to point to concrete examples where you've applied automation or AI in a DevOps context and explain the impact • Personal projects, side builds, or a home lab that show you automate for the love of it • Practical use of AI tooling in day-to-day operational work • Familiarity with Drupal and/or Laravel application hosting • Experience with managed Kubernetes hosting platforms • Experience with on-call/alerting tooling (e.g. OpsGenie), JAMF, and Atlassian / Google Workspace admin • A track record of automating away repetitive operational work • Experience contributing to ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audits and certification • DNS, SSL/TLS, and domain lifecycle know-how
