Job Summary 

Pro Bono: This position is tailored to a professional who wants to give back special skills and has the right degree and professional experience for this position. We’ve had a transition from an engineering firm that left partial documentation. We're having issues with Argo, Kubernetes, and setting up CI/CD. We'd love to have you set up the dev ops environment so we can code and take action. If you want this to be long-term, we'd love to have that too! We are excited to have you join our global team and help serve the world in global poverty.
