Blurgs AI is Looking for

Blurgs AI is looking for a senior DevOps / Platform Engineer with hands-on experience in fully airgapped and on-premise environments. This is a new headcount — you will own the full infrastructure stack from provisioning to application deployment, with zero reliance on external connectivity or SaaS tooling.

What You'll Do

• Design, deploy, and operate mission-critical infrastructure in fully airgapped / disconnected environments
• Manage bare-metal Kubernetes clusters (vanilla, RKE2, or OpenShift) without internet access
• Build and maintain offline CI/CD pipelines using self-hosted GitLab Omnibus or Jenkins with Nexus/Artifactory
• Own infrastructure provisioning end-to-end — from bare-metal (PXE, IPMI/iDRAC) to application layer
• Manage internal container registries (Harbor), image signing, and vulnerability scanning in air-gapped setups
• Implement and maintain self-hosted observability stacks (Prometheus, Loki, ELK) — no cloud monitoring
• Harden systems against security standards (STIGs, NIST, ISO 27001) and participate in audits
• Collaborate with the security team and take full ownership of platform reliability and compliance

Must Haves

• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform — IaC with local backends (mandatory, #1 priority)
• Strong hands-on experience with Ansible — complex playbooks, custom modules, AWX/Tower (mandatory, #2 priority)
• Bare-metal Kubernetes deployment and operations without internet access (mandatory, #3 priority)
• Proven experience deploying in true airgapped / offline / on-premise environments — no external data access, no VPN tunnels

Good to Have

• Self-hosted CI/CD — GitLab Omnibus, Jenkins, Nexus/Artifactory
• VMware vSphere (ESXi, vCenter) or Proxmox/KVM; bare-metal provisioning via PXE/IPMI
• Security hardening — STIGs, DISA, NIST, ISO 27001; SELinux/AppArmor
• Internal container registry management — Harbor, Cosign/Notary, Trivy/Clair
• Self-hosted observability — Prometheus, Thanos, Loki, ELK
• GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux running fully on-prem
• CKA / CKS certification
• Security+ or CISSP certification

Culture Fit

This is not an execution-only role. The ideal candidate takes end-to-end ownership, operates with full accountability, and thrives in environments where there is no hand-holding and no SaaS fallback.
