What you get to do in this role: 

• Deploy manage and scale applications using Kubernetes
• Build software applications using containerization concepts and technologies like Docker and deploy them on Kubernetes.
• You will design and implement scalable faulttolerant systems using Kubernetes (absolute must)
• Leverage cloud platforms like AWS Azure or GCP deploy software applications using the Kubernetes platform environment. 
• Set up monitoring and logging systems in a Kubernetes environment using tools like Prometheus Grafana or ELK (Elasticsearch Logstash Kibana etc.) As well as the inner workings of how to troubleshoot performance optimization and Kubernetes networking concepts (service discovery land balancing and network policies etc). All important for building and painting reliable communication between application components.     
• Youll work on the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) 
• Daytoday includes scripting and automation using languages like Bash or Python to automate common tasks related to Kubernetes (cluster provisioning application deployment and scaling etc.) 
• Be able to troubleshoot and debug issues related to and around Kubernetes deployments networking performance and application scalability. 
• Build highquality clean scalable and reusable code by enforcing best practices around software engineering architecture and processes (Code Reviews Unit testing etc.) 
• Work with the product owners to understand detailed requirements and own your code from design implementation test automation and delivery of highquality products to our users. 
• Design software that is simple to use to allow customers to extend and customize the functionality to meet their specific needs. 
• Contribute to the design and implementation of new products and features while also enhancing the existing product suite.
• Be a mentor for colleagues and help promote knowledgesharing  

To be successful in this role you have: 

• Proficiency in working with Kubernetes is a must. Candidates should have handson experience with deploying managing and scaling applications using Kubernetes. 
• Understanding containerization concepts and experience with containerization technologies like Docker is essential for building and deploying applications on Kubernetes. 
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Familiarity with tools like Terraform or Ansible to automate the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources. 
• Experience working with cloud platforms like AWS Azure or GCP as Kubernetes is commonly deployed on these platforms. Understanding how to leverage cloud services in a Kubernetes environment is valuable. 
• Understanding Kubernetes networking concepts such as service discovery load balancing and network policies is important for building and maintaining reliable communication between application components. 
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines utilizing tools like Jenkins GitLab CI/CD or CircleCI to automate the build test and deployment of Kubernetesbased applications. 
• Experience with scripting and automation (Bash or Python). 
• Experience around daytoday common tasks related to Kubernetes like cluster provisioning application deployment and scaling etc. to name a few. 
• Strong problemsolving skills and the ability to troubleshoot issues related to Kubernetes deployments networking performance and application scalability. 
• Proficiency in implementing robust observability and monitoring practices within Kubernetes clusters including metrics logging and distributed tracing is highly desired. Familiarity with tools such as Prometheus Grafana Jaeger and Elasticsearch can be advantageous. 
• Skills in infrastructure automation using tools like Terraform or Ansible can help candidates automate the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters and associated resources.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills are essential for collaborating with crossfunctional teams including DevOps infrastructure and software engineering teams. The ability to effectively communicate ideas share knowledge and work collaboratively can greatly contribute to success in this role. 
• The field of Kubernetes and cloudnative technologies is rapidly evolving. Candidates who demonstrate a passion for continuous learning staying updated with the latest industry trends and actively seeking opportunities for selfimprovement can thrive in this dynamic environment. 

Nice to have: 

• Cloud Native Development: Expertise in cloudnative development practices and principles is highly valuable. This includes designing applications that are loosely coupled resilient and can fully leverage the benefits of Kubernetes and cloud platforms. 
• Security and Compliance: Understanding Kubernetes security best practices container image scanning RBAC (RoleBased Access Control) network policies and compliance frameworks such as CIS benchmarks is important for ensuring the security and compliance of Kubernetes workloads. 
• Familiarity with service mesh technologies like Istio or Linkerd can be an added advantage. Knowledge of how to leverage service mesh for traffic management security and observability within a Kubernetes environment can greatly enhance application development and management.
• Experience with GitOps practices such as using Git as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application configuration can streamline deployment and management

Qualifications :

• 6 years experience in DevOps building and maintaining a platform for largescale Enterprise Applications with 10000 physical hosts
• Expert level understanding of Centos/RHEL OS and experience installing maintaining and designing services.
• Familiarity with Cloud Technologies OpenStack AWS or Azure are a plus
