Astra North Infoteck Inc. · Toronto, Canada ·
A 6-12 month contract role in Toronto (hybrid, 2-3 days in office) architecting an internal developer portal: defining Port resources with Terraform/Pulumi IaC, syncing third-party data via the Python-based Ocean framework, building GitHub Actions self-service workflows, JQ data mapping, and Dynatrace integrations. Requires 5+ years in DevOps/solutions architecture and strong Kubernetes skills.
DevOps Infrastructure Architect- Terraform, IaC
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): You need strong Terraform skills to manage the portal as code. This involves writing .tf files to define port_blueprint, port_entity, and port_action resources, using the port-labs/port-labs provider. Pulumi (Python/TypeScript) is an alternative for defining resources.
• Integration Framework (Ocean): You must understand the Ocean framework. This is a Python 3.11-based solution used to sync third-party data. Skills involve writing config.yaml files, understanding the integration lifecycle, and potentially contributing to main.py logic for custom systems.
• CI/CD & Orchestration: You will need deep experience with GitHub Actions to create self-service action backends. This means writing YAML workflows with workflow_dispatch triggers and handling Port context via secrets (PORT_CLIENT_ID, PORT_CLIENT_SECRET).
• Data Mapping & Transformation: Proficiency in JQ is essential. It is used in config.yaml or port-app-config.yml to filter API responses, extract data paths (.data.users), and map fields to Port entity properties.
Enterprise Integration Configuration Skills
• Terraform: Configure the provider for EU (api.port.io) or US (api.us.port.io) regions, and manage resources using variables for credentials.
• GitHub Actions: Set up auto-discovery to import workflows as self-service actions, or manually define the action JSON to trigger workflows.
• Dynatrace: Use the Ocean framework (Python) to ingest Problems, SLOs, and Entities. This requires defining mapping rules (JQ) to link Dynatrace entities to Port microservices. You can also set up webhooks for real-time problem alerts.
Experience Level Required
• 5+ years in solutions architecture or DevOps engineering.
• Cloud-Native Expertise: Deep understanding of Kubernetes and modern DevOps practices.
• IaC Mastery: Hands-on experience with Terraform and Pulumi.
• Consulting & Design: Ability to design scalable IDP architectures, reference patterns, and guide adoption across platform and DevEx teams.
