Ready to join a mission that matters? The future of cybersecurity starts with you.

About This Role:

CrowdStrike's engineering organization depends on shared infrastructure platforms that power critical product capabilities. The Temporal Platform team owns a production workflow orchestration system that serves engineering teams across the organization.

You'll help operate and evolve our internal Temporal infrastructure, a stateful, distributed system running on Kubernetes across multiple regions. The work spans day to day operations, automation, performance tuning and capacity planning. You'll learn how to run complex infrastructure at scale while working alongside experienced platform engineers who will help you grow into broader ownership over time.

This is a growth oriented role. We're looking for someone early in their platform engineering journey who's ready to build operational depth, develop automation skills and understand what it takes to run production infrastructure that teams depend on.

What You'll Do:

Operate Temporal infrastructure in production - deploy updates, monitor cluster health, respond to alerts, and maintain availability across multiple environments using Helm, Kubernetes and FluxCD

Automate operational work - write scripts and workflows that make deployments, upgrades, scaling operations, and troubleshooting repeatable and safe; reduce manual toil over time

Support capacity planning and performance tuning - track resource utilization, identify bottlenecks, tune configuration for better performance and contribute to capacity forecasts under guidance

Build observability - instrument services with metrics and logs, improve dashboards, and refine alerting so the team can catch problems before they impact users

Contribute to on call rotation - participate in incident response, learn how to triage and escalate issues effectively, write runbooks that help the next person on-call

Learn GitOps workflows - work with FluxCD to manage infrastructure-as-code, submit pull requests for configuration changes, and understand how declarative deployment pipelines work

Troubleshoot operational issues - investigate deployment failures, connectivity problems, performance degradations, and work with teammates to determine root cause and preventive fixes

Partner with consuming teams - help internal engineers onboard to Temporal, answer questions, debug integration issues, and contribute to documentation that makes adoption easier

Grow your infrastructure skills - work with PostgreSQL, AWS/GCP, Kubernetes networking, Helm chart management, certificate rotation, secret management and distributed systems operations under mentorship

What You'll Need:

3+ years in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering or infrastructure roles - you've worked on production systems and understand the basics of running services reliably

Kubernetes fundamentals - you've deployed services to Kubernetes, understand pods/deployments/services, and can debug basic cluster issues; you don't need deep expertise but should be comfortable navigating kubectl and reviewing YAML

Helm experience - you've used Helm to deploy applications, understand charts and values files, and can troubleshoot failed releases

Some infrastructure-as-code experience - you've used tools like Terraform, Ansible, or GitOps workflows (FluxCD, ArgoCD) to manage infrastructure declaratively rather than clicking in consoles

Cloud platform exposure - you've worked with AWS or GCP in some capacity; you understand basic compute, networking, and storage primitives but don't need to be an expert

Scripting ability - you can write scripts (Bash, Python, Go) to automate repetitive tasks and build simple tooling

Basic understanding of stateful systems - you've worked with databases (PostgreSQL preferred) or other persistent services and understand backups, schema management, and connection handling at a foundational level

Willingness to learn and ask for help - you're comfortable saying "I don't know" and diving into unfamiliar territory with support from teammates

What Success Looks Like:

In your first few months:

You can deploy Temporal upgrades across environments with confidence

You've automated at least one recurring operational task

You respond to on-call pages effectively and write clear incident summaries

You've contributed meaningful improvements to dashboards or runbooks

Internal teams reach out to you directly for help with Temporal questions

Over your first year:

You own end-to-end operations for specific Temporal components or environments

You proactively identify performance issues and propose tuning strategies

You're contributing to capacity planning and cost optimization discussions

You're helping onboard new engineers to the team's operational practices

Bonus Points:

Experience operating workflow orchestration platforms (Temporal, Airflow, Prefect, Cadence)

Experience with FluxCD or ArgoCD in production

Exposure to distributed tracing or observability platforms

Go experience (our services and many consuming applications are written in Go)

Previous work on internal platform teams or DevOps infrastructure roles

Understanding of PostgreSQL performance tuning and operational best practices

Familiarity with multi-region infrastructure deployment and failover patterns
