The role is responsible for ensuring seamless integration of container technologies with existing IT infrastructure to maintain stable and efficient platform operations across cloud environments. It focuses on the execution and oversight of deployment processes, resource utilization, and platform performance to ensure continuous availability and service stability. The engineer works closely with cross-functional teams to support application operations and ensure alignment with organizational standards and operational requirements. Additionally, the role supports the organization s sustainability objectives by maintaining energy
efficient and resource-conscious IT platform operations.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Operates and maintains highly available Kubernetes clusters, ensuring stable and
reliable platform performance across all environments.
Monitors cluster health and workload performance, responding to incidents and
resolving issues to maintain service continuity.
Implement automation for deployment, scaling, and management of container
platforms to improve efficiency and high availability.
Manages and optimizes Kubernetes resource utilization, including compute, memory,
and storage, to balance performance and cost efficiency.
Enforces security, access controls, and compliance requirements within Kubernetes
environments.
Performs backup, recovery, and disaster recovery operations to ensure platform
resilience and data protection.
Diagnoses and resolves complex issues across Kubernetes clusters, including
networking, performance, and system-level failures.
Develops and maintains CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows to automate
deployments and operational processes.
Evaluates and adopts emerging technologies and evolving Kubernetes patterns to
continuously improve the platform.
Designs and manages persistent storage solutions, including CSI drivers and stateful
workload architectures.
Professional & Technical Skills:
Holds a degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, with a
strong focus on cloud computing and container technologies.
Demonstrates deep expertise in Kubernetes architecture, APIs, control plane internals
and Docker/Podman, with experience in cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google
Cloud.
Mastery in managing Kubernetes and OpenShift cluster lifecycle using infrastructure-as
code and automation practices
Established experience in networking concepts, including CNI plugins, service
connectivity, ingress configurations and protocols to ensure seamless operations.
Expertise in managing persistent storage solutions within Kubernetes, including
provisioning, configuration, and operation of stateful workloads and CSI-based storage.
Proficiency in cluster security controls, including RBAC and policy engines
Knowledge of optimization, scaling, and ensuring the reliability and availability of
containerized workloads running on Kubernetes.
Expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines to enable
reliable, automated, and consistent application deployments.
Proficient in administering container registries (e.g., Harbor), including image lifecycle
management, access control, vulnerability scanning, and secure distribution of
container artifacts.
Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK
stack is beneficial for maintaining the health and performance of the Kubernetes
environment.
Proficiency in scripting languages like Python, Bash, or Go is crucial for automating tasks
and managing infrastructure efficiently.
