  • Managing custom data store deployments like sharded MongoDB clusters, Elasticsearch clusters, and upcoming services.
  • Deployment and management of Kubernetes resources.
  • Deployment and management of custom metrics exporters, trace data, custom application metrics, and designing dashboards, querying metrics from multiple resources, as an end-to-end observability stack solution.
  • Set up incident response services and design effective processes.
  • Deployment and management of critical platform services like OPA and Keycloak for IAM.
  • Advocate best practices for high availability and scalability when designing AWS infrastructure, observability dashboards, implementing IAC, deploying to Kubernetes, and designing GitOps CI/CD pipelines.


You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:

  • Hands-on experience with Docker or any other container runtime environment and Linux with the ability to perform basic administrative tasks.
  • Experience working with web servers (nginx, apache) and cloud providers (preferably AWS).
  • Hands-on scripting and automation experience (Python, Bash), experience debugging and troubleshooting Linux environments and cloud-native deployments.
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines, with familiarity with monitoring & alerting systems (Grafana, Prometheus, and exporters).
  • Knowledge of web architecture, distributed systems, and single points of failure.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native deployments and concepts like high availability, scalability, and bottleneck.
  • Good networking fundamentals — SSH, DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, SSL, load balancing, reverse proxies, and firewalls.


Good to have:

  • Experience with backend development and setting up databases and performance tuning using parameter groups.
  • Working experience in Kubernetes cluster administration and Kubernetes deployments.
  • Experience working alongside sec ops engineers.
  • Basic knowledge of Envoy, service mesh (Istio), and SRE concepts like distributed tracing.
  • Setup and usage of open telemetry, central logging, and monitoring systems.


What Sun King offers:

  • Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry.
  • An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
