Responsibilities

• Design and implement EKS, GKE or AKS clusters with 100% code-defined provisioning (Terraform / Helm).
• Establish GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux: continuous sync, state reconciliation, and automated rollbacks.
• Plan and execute migrations with zero-downtime cutover, verifiable rollback plan, and complete documentation.
• Improve platform security: RBAC, network policies (Cilium/NetworkPolicy), secrets management, and container hardening.

Requirements

• Mastery of Helm, ArgoCD or Flux, and container networking fundamentals (CNI, Ingress, Service Mesh).

• Active freelance / self-employed status with the ability to invoice from Spain or Europe.

We Offer

• Focused, well-defined engagements with rigorous documentation.
• Flexible commitment: part-time or full engagement depending on the project.
• Peer technical review: senior architects involved in every significant decision.
• Rate agreed before starting. Documented scope.
