He or she will collaborate with Platform Architect and development teams across applications, IS design authority, in implementing platform CI CD integration solution as part of the larger system landscape.

Responsibilities :

• Architect and maintain a platform-as-a-product used by development and DevOps teams.
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using tools like Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD, or Tekton.
• Configure application deployments, including environment variables, secrets, and configuration maps.
• Lead containerization and deployment using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift Container Platform (OCP).
• Oversee the installation, configuration, and maintenance of OpenShift clusters.
• Allocate and manage resources such as compute, storage, and networking within the cluster.
• Collaborate with solution architects, product managers, and delivery leads on digital transformation programs.
• Implement and manage backup and recovery strategies for the cluster.
• Provide support for users and teams interacting with the OpenShift, EKS environment.
• Train developers on best practices for deploying and managing containers.
• Ensure delivery timelines, SLAs, and security compliance (DevSecOps) are met.

Cloud Expertise:

• Manage cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
• Optimize infrastructure for performance and cost.

Kubernetes Architecture and Management:

• Cluster Design: Architect and configure Kubernetes clusters to meet the needs of various applications.
• Deployment and Upgrades: Manage the deployment and upgrading of Kubernetes clusters, ensuring minimal downtime and high availability.
• Scaling: Implement horizontal and vertical scaling to handle varying workloads and optimize resource utilization.

Container Management:

• Container Orchestration: Use Kubernetes to orchestrate containers, ensuring proper deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
• Configuration Management: Manage configurations and secrets using Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

• Automation: Use IaC tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Helm to automate the deployment and management of Kubernetes infrastructure.
• Version Control: Maintain infrastructure code in version control systems to ensure reproducibility and track changes.

Monitoring and Logging:

• Observability: Implement monitoring and logging solutions to track the health and performance of Kubernetes clusters and applications. Tools like Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack are commonly used.
• Alerts and Incident Management: Set up alerts for system anomalies and manage incident responses.

Security:

• Policy Enforcement: Implement security policies and best practices, such as Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), Network Policies, and Pod Security Policies.
• Vulnerability Management: Regularly scan containers and Kubernetes components for vulnerabilities and apply patches as needed.

CI/CD Integration:

• Pipeline Management: Integrate Kubernetes with CI/CD pipelines to automate the deployment of applications and updates.
• Tooling: Use tools like Bitbucket, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD for continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Collaboration and Documentation:

• Team Collaboration: Work closely with development teams to understand their requirements and ensure Kubernetes clusters meet their needs.
• Documentation: Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation for the Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment procedures, and troubleshooting guides.

Performance Optimization:

• Resource Management: Optimize resource allocation and utilization to ensure efficient operation of Kubernetes clusters.
• Tuning: Fine-tune Kubernetes settings and configurations based on performance metrics and workloads.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Minimum 5 years of experience as a DevSecOps Engineer or in a similar role.
• Strong foundation in both software development and IT operations.
• Expertise in Kubernetes:
• Deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture, components, and day-to-day operations.
• Proficiency in containerization using Docker and containerized application development.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Helm, or similar.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Certified Kubernetes Administrator).
• Experience with microservices architecture and API Gateway solutions.
• Hands-on experience in EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) upgrades and operational management.
• Solid understanding of networking and security best practices in cloud-native environments.
