About Arcana
At Arcana, we understand technology networks and what drives businesses forward. From cloud-native platforms and data-driven solutions to DevOps automation, enterprise-scale services, infrastructure, and digital transformation, we deliver innovative solutions that help enterprises become smarter, more scalable, and more secure.
We are growing rapidly and run a fully containerised, cloud-native platform on self-managed Kubernetes clusters in GCP, with around 3,000 nodes at scale. Our workloads and databases run on Kubernetes, and we operate a centralized, high-volume observability stack along with in-house alerting and access-request tools.
We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who enjoys self-managed open-source systems, solving problems at scale, and improving developer experience.
What you’ll do
- Operate and scale large self-managed Kubernetes environments on GCP, including workloads and databases.
- Manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform, Helm, and other Infrastructure as Code tools.
- Run and scale our centralized observability stack for high-volume metrics, logs, dashboards, and alerting.
- Build and improve internal developer-productivity, deployment, alerting, and access-request tools.
- Work with developer, backend, frontend, security, and platform teams to reduce friction and improve release reliability.
- Troubleshoot production issues, automate repetitive work, and maintain platform-security best practices.
- Use LLMs and AI tooling efficiently for troubleshooting, automation, documentation, and improving engineering workflows.
- Write clear documentation and guide teams on DevOps best practices.
What we’re looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience.
- Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience; experience with large managed or self-managed clusters is a major plus.
- Cloud experience with GCP, AWS, or Azure; GCP is strongly preferred.
- Experience with Helm and at least one IaC tool, such as Terraform or Crossplane.
- Strong experience with open-source observability tools; Grafana is required, and Prometheus, Loki, Victoria or ELK/OpenSearch experience is a plus.
- Experience operating self-managed infrastructure or open-source platforms.
- Moderate Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
- Experience with Docker and container-based application deployment.
- Understanding of cloud and platform security best practices.
- Experience improving developer productivity, internal tooling, or engineering environments.
- Experience using LLMs or AI coding assistants to solve real engineering problems.
- Experience supporting data engineering or data science teams is a plus.
