IT DevOps Engineer

Workflow architecture.

Design, deploy, and maintain mission-critical workflows in n8n or an equivalent orchestrator, with real error-handling paths rather than happy-path scripts.

Operational automation.

Replace manual runbook steps — engineering alerts, product provisioning, routine ops — with event-driven workflows that route themselves.

Custom nodes and logic.

Build the custom nodes, webhooks, and functions the off-the-shelf integrations do not cover.

Integration design.

Design and secure internal and external integrations across REST, GraphQL, and webhooks, including OAuth2, mTLS, and API-key auth.

High-throughput data flows.

Handle rate limits, retries, backpressure, and payload validation so integrations degrade predictably instead of silently.

Contract testing.

Mock, test, and version APIs so a downstream change surfaces in CI rather than in production.

CI/CD for model deploys.

Co-own the deploy pipelines with Platform Engineering as a peer — tuned for fast AI model and infrastructure rollouts with zero downtime.

Infrastructure as code.

Provision multi-cloud environments in Terraform, OpenTofu, or Pulumi — reviewed, reproducible, no console drift.

Containers and Kubernetes.

Package and scale GPU and CPU workloads on EKS, GKE, or AKS with attention to utilization, not just uptime.

Observability.

Instrument pipelines and workflows with Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog so a stalled automation pages someone before a customer notices.

Self-healing paths.

Build retry, fallback, and escalation logic into workflows so the common failures resolve without a human.

Documentation as infrastructure.

Keep the workflow map and runbooks current enough that someone else can debug your automation at 2am.

Two languages, deep. 6+ years building production systems, with strong Python plus JavaScript or TypeScript — clean, modular, async code, not glue scripts.

Workflow orchestration.

Hands-on expertise with n8n, Temporal, Make, or a comparable platform, including custom nodes and error-handling design.

API fluency.

You reason in payloads and endpoints: REST and GraphQL, webhooks, gateways, proxying, and the auth mechanisms behind them.

CI/CD ownership.

You have owned pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins through real scale and real incidents.

Cloud and containers.

Production Kubernetes on AWS or GCP, with Terraform as your default way to change infrastructure.

Automation instinct.

Your reflex after fixing something twice is to make the third time impossible.

Standing across teams.

You have held technical ownership that crossed a team boundary, and earned it on judgment rather than reporting line.

Comfort with speed.

You enjoy that the tooling landscape in generative AI shifts every quarter, and you evaluate new tools without chasing them.
