Hire for External Secrets Mastery

Your Kubernetes secrets are checked into Git or manually managed, creating security risks and operational headaches. You need an expert in External Secrets Operator (ESO) to securely sync secrets from external stores like AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault directly into your cluster.

Sound Familiar?

Common problems we solve by providing true External Secrets experts.

Are you checking encrypted secrets into Git and dealing with key management?

The Problem

Managing GPG keys or KMS access for every developer and CI/CD system to decrypt secrets is a complex operational burden.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We find engineers who can use External Secrets Operator to completely separate secrets from your Git repository, allowing you to manage secrets in a dedicated store and sync them directly to Kubernetes.

Proof: Decoupling secrets from Git

How do you handle secret rotation for your applications?

The Problem

Manually updating Kubernetes secrets after a rotation is error-prone and often forgotten, leaving applications with old credentials.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers can configure ESO to automatically poll for changes in the external secret store and update the Kubernetes secret, ensuring seamless secret rotation for your applications.

Proof: Automated secret rotation

Are you duplicating secrets across multiple namespaces or clusters?

The Problem

Managing copies of the same secret (e.g., an image pull secret) across different environments is inefficient and increases risk.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We look for engineers who can leverage ESO's templating and cross-namespace capabilities to manage a single source of truth for a secret and distribute it securely wherever it's needed.

Proof: Centralized, DRY secret management
