Description

About Telestream

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.

Location: US Remote

Work Authorization - Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States. This role is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization or visa sponsorship of any kind, now or in the future.

***OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS***

Our process includes a live, hands-on technical interview conducted via shared terminal and screen share. You will be asked to work through Terraform and infrastructure scenarios in real time—no take-home exercises, no slides. Candidates who are comfortable with the skills listed above will do well. Candidates who are not, will find this stage difficult to navigate. We value people who are direct about what they know and what they’re still learning.

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

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent
• 5+ yrs of experience 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
