Remote AWS Kubernetes Engineer

Elevate Cloud Infrastructure with Kubernetes Expertise

Can your Kubernetes intuition transform scattered resources into orchestrated, resilient cloud ecosystems? Here’s a role where every improvement, every solution, and every automation you drive amplifies the backbone of modern digital businesses. As a Remote AWS Kubernetes Engineer, you’ll architect containerized environments that unlock velocity, reliability, and freedom for teams distributed across the globe. Your work won’t just optimize uptime or costs—it’ll create the foundation for engineering teams to innovate, deploy, and recover at the pace the business demands.

What You’ll Accomplish

You’ll partner with engineers, developers, and support teams to deploy, scale, and secure cloud-native applications used by thousands daily. From greenfield builds to complex migrations, your day-to-day challenges will always be anchored in real-world impact: reducing deployment times, eliminating single points of failure, and making sure infrastructure never stands in the way of bold ideas. You’ll design infrastructure as code, streamline pipelines, and automate the boring stuff—so your teammates can spend time-solving big problems instead of fixing yesterday’s issues.

Your Impact, Measured in Outcomes

• Shape robust, self-healing Kubernetes clusters on AWS, ensuring uptime and seamless rollouts even as workloads surge.
• Empower teams to ship faster by refining CI/CD pipelines, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping deployment workflows smooth and reliable.
• Guide architectural decisions that scale from dozens to thousands of services, balancing performance with operational simplicity.
• Implement intelligent monitoring and automated remediation so issues are caught—and fixed—before users even notice.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to introduce best practices for cloud security, multi-tenancy, and cost optimization—ensuring every dollar spent is an investment in resilience and agility.

Tools, Tech, and Collaboration

You’ll wield a toolkit that includes AWS EKS, Helm, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, and more. The stack evolves as fast as you do—expect to learn, experiment, and introduce new solutions that keep us at the cutting edge. You’ll bring together colleagues from DevOps, SRE, product management, and support, guiding them through every migration, rollback, and performance boost. Whether it’s a spike in traffic or a major platform launch, your leadership sets the standard for what’s possible in a modern cloud environment.

What Sets You Apart

• You simplify the complex, making it easy for engineers and non-technical stakeholders to understand what’s happening—and why it matters.
• Your Kubernetes know-how spans advanced networking, autoscaling, RBAC, and service mesh architectures. AWS is your playground, and infrastructure as code is second nature.
• Security isn’t an afterthought—you proactively integrate robust controls, identity management, and automated patching into every workflow.
• When incidents occur, you remain calm, decisive, and transparent, leading root cause analysis and turning every outage into an opportunity for growth.
• Continuous improvement drives you, and you champion the mindset across teams—sharing insights, running postmortems, and never settling for “good enough.”

Our Remote Culture & Workflow

You’ll thrive in a space that’s as focused on well-being as it is on uptime. Work where you’re inspired—at home, in a coworking hub, or halfway across the world. You’ll find deep focus hours balanced with collaborative sprints, clear priorities, and a feedback-driven environment. Our remote stack includes Slack, Notion, Jira, and AWS-native monitoring tools. Expect quick, meaningful check-ins, open forums for technical debates, and a team that values both independence and support.

Growth, Compensation, and What’s Next

This fully remote opportunity offers an annual salary of $156,773. You’ll find plenty of space to push your skills, drive new initiatives, and take ownership of high-impact projects. Expect continuous learning, mentorship from senior cloud architects, and opportunities to contribute to open-source projects or deliver conference talks. Your expertise will drive cloud transformation at scale, making a tangible mark on how products launch, scale, and thrive in a fast-moving market.
