DevOps Engineer

Job Overview

Telestream is a leading provider of digital media tools and software solutions for the broadcast, streaming, and media industries. We empower content creators and distributors to produce and deliver high-quality video content while optimizing operations and maximizing revenue. Our teams work diligently to innovate and support world-class services, and we are looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our Engineering team.

Position Summary

Telestream is seeking a DevOps Engineer with proven, hands-on Kubernetes expertise to drive the reliability and scalability of our video processing infrastructure. This is a deeply technical role requiring real-world experience administering production Kubernetes clusters—not theoretical familiarity. You will own CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and cloud platform operations in a fully remote environment where independent execution is essential. If you have built, broken, and fixed things in Kubernetes at scale, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deploy, and administer production Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, namespace management, RBAC, network policies, and cluster upgrades


• Design and maintain continuous integration/deployment pipelines to automate testing and deployment, including Kubernetes-native delivery workflows using Helm and ArgoCD or equivalent


• Track software performance, fixing errors, troubleshooting systems, implement preventative measures to ensure smooth workflows


• Implement and manage infrastructure. Utilize Terraform or CloudFormation for IaC management


• Optimize cloud resources by implementing cost-effective solutions


• Collaborate with various teams to ensure smooth deployment


• Monitor and create new processes based on performance analysis


• Implement security best practices, including automated compliance checks and secure code deployment

Required Qualifications

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent


• 5+ yrs of experience with the following:


• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent) with direct integration into Kubernetes deployment workflows


• Production-level experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform required; CloudFormation or Pulumi a plus), including managing cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS)


• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tooling in Kubernetes environments (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK/EFK stack, or equivalent); ability to build dashboards and alerts from scratch, not just consume existing ones


• Demonstrated, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production environments: cluster administration, Helm chart authoring and management, RBAC configuration, persistent storage, horizontal/vertical pod autoscaling, and diagnosing and resolving real production failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, networking issues, etc.)


• Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose infrastructure and application issues live, under pressure, without reference materials—this is evaluated directly in our interview process


• Excellent communication and collaboration skills


• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Go, Bash, or PowerShell); ability to write and own automation scripts, not just modify existing ones
