Numerator is seeking a skilled DevOps Kubernetes Engineer to help build, scale, and modernize the infrastructure behind both our established products and new greenfield initiatives. You’ll work across a diverse technical landscape - from gamified mobile apps to large-scale web crawling and deep learning systems - that power our consumer insights platform.
In this role, you’ll make an immediate impact by driving our migration from on-prem to cloud, improving reliability and performance, and shaping how new projects are delivered at scale. This is a fast-paced, high-visibility opportunity with strong growth potential.
The ideal candidate is hands-on with infrastructure-as-code, experienced with Kubernetes in major cloud environments, and comfortable contributing to both operational architecture and broader technology initiatives across the Numerator portfolio.
What You’ll Do:
+ Participate in code reviews, design work and troubleshooting across business functions, multiple teams and product groups to help communicate, document and address infrastructure issues.
+ Look for innovative ways to improve observability, monitoring of large scale systems over a variety of technologies across the Numerator organization.
+ Participate in the creation of training material, helping teams embrace a culture of DevOps with self-healing and self-service ecosystems. This includes discovery, testing and integration of third party solutions in product roadmaps.
+ Build internal-facing tools that demonstrate performance and operational effectiveness to improve training, adoption and understanding of common Software Development and DevOps challenges.
+ Drive the team forward by helping refine and plan out tasks and epics during regular sprint planning.
+ Expose the team and wider application teams to new tools and technologies when possible and to drive PoCs with third party vendors during the vendor selection process.
+ Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Security, or Information Security.
+ 4+ years of experience in cloud-based systems across DevOps, IT, Networking, or Software Engineering.
+ Strong understanding of software architecture, reliability, availability, and performance engineering.
+ Hands-on knowledge of networking, operating systems, databases, packaging/build systems, and observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, Loki, Tempo, Mimir).
+ Skilled in deploying services with advanced networking, IAM role-based access, and Kubernetes within AWS, Azure, or GCP.
+ Proficient in Python, Golang, shell scripting, and rapid prototyping with third-party tools.
+ Comfortable using AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot) and pair-programming workflows.
+ Experienced in Agile methodologies and capable of managing multiple projects while proactively identifying technical risks.
+ Ability to quickly learn, deploy, and manage Kubernetes-based applications and third-party services using Terraform and Ansible.
+ Strong documentation skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
What We Offer:
+ An inclusive and collaborative company culture - we work in an open environment while working together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs as they come.
+ An opportunity to have an impact in a technologically data-driven company.
+ Ownership over platforms and environments in an industry-leading product.
+ Market competitive total compensation package.
+ Volunteer time off and charitable donation matching.
+ Strong support for career growth, including mentorship programs, leadership training, access to conferences and employee resources groups.
+ Regular hackathons to build your own projects and Engineering Lunch and Learns.
+ Great benefits package including health/vision/dental, flexible PTO, flexible schedule, RRSPs matching, travel reimbursement and more.
+ An opportunity to work in a fast moving growth company.
