Devops Engineer

**Platform DevOps Engineer

• TEKsystems Global Services**

About the Opportunity

TGS is looking for a Platform DevOps Engineer to join one of our key engineering teams working on large-scale messaging and event-driven infrastructure. This is a long-term consultancy assignment within a small, high-impact platform team focused on reliability, automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code.

You will be joining TGS as an employee and embedded directly into a modern engineering environment where you will contribute to platform consolidation, tooling development, and the evolution of internal messaging systems. This role offers stability, technical ownership, and the chance to influence engineering decisions in a team that values autonomy, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What You Will Work On

• Supporting the migration of existing messaging workloads to a unified Kafka-based platform.
• Building and maintaining Infrastructure-as-Code environments using Pulumi (TypeScript) and GitOps-driven workflows.
• Implementing and improving automated platform provisioning, resource management, and internal tooling.
• Troubleshooting distributed systems, messaging pipelines, and platform performance issues.
• Working closely with internal engineering teams to support their adoption of platform services.
• Contributing to the evaluation and introduction of new technologies, such as queuing systems and platform automation tools.
• Improving reliability, observability, and recovery processes within the platform.

Required Skills & Experience

Core Must-Haves

• Strong DevOps or Platform Engineering Experience, ideally in cloud-native environments.
• High proficiency with Pulumi (or strong Terraform Experience with willingness to transition to Pulumi).
• Hands-on Experience with Kafka (Confluent or Strimzi) or a strong understanding of messaging systems concepts (topics, partitions, consumer groups, retention, ACLs).
• Experience with GitHub workflows, PR-based development, or GitOps methodologies.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and the ability to troubleshoot messaging and platform issues.
• Customer-oriented, collaborative mindset — you enjoy enabling internal engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with MirrorMaker 2 or Kafka migration patterns.
• Familiarity with Strimzi operators, CRDs, or Kafka Connect.
• Foundational Kubernetes knowledge (Pods, Deployments, Operators).
• Exposure to Azure, especially AKS, networking, identity, or monitoring stacks.
• Experience with Prometheus/Grafana, Confluent Control Center, or related observability tooling.
• Experience building automation tooling in TypeScript or Python.
• Knowledge of serialization formats such as Avro, Protobuf, or JSON Schema.
• Experience with other messaging technologies (RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, etc.).

What TGS Offers

As a TGS consultant, you will have:

• A stable employment contract with long-term project opportunities.
• The chance to work inside modern engineering teams on high-impact initiatives.
• Access to continuous learning, certifications, and career development.
• Support from TGS for personal growth, performance, and future project rotation.
• A collaborative environment where your technical ideas are valued.

Who You Are

You thrive in environments where you can take ownership, propose improvements, and work closely with engineering peers. You’re comfortable navigating distributed systems, modern IaC tooling, and cloud-native workflows. You want a role where you can grow, influence, and deliver meaningful platform improvements — not just maintain existing systems.

How to Apply

If you’re looking for your next long-term engineering challenge where your Pulumi, DevOps, and platform skills can make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
