Experience: 4+ Years

Work Mode: Remote

Type : Contract ( 4 months with possibility of extension)

The role:

We are seeking a hands-on Cloud Platform Migration Engineer to support a customer migration from Platform9/OpenStack-managed infrastructure into Spectro Cloud Palette-managed Kubernetes environments.

This contract role is operationally focused and requires strong discipline when performing customer-impacting migration activities, destructive actions, and validation steps across compute, storage, networking, Kubernetes, and observability systems.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly in production-like environments, using OpenStack CLI workflows, Linux administration practices, Git-based change control, and Palette cluster provisioning processes to execute repeatable migration runbooks safely and accurately.

Role expectations:

- Engineers will be supporting multiple migrations during operational windows and must be comfortable working independently.
- Candidates should be able to troubleshoot issues quickly, make sound operational decisions, and resolve common DevOps, networking, Git, and scripting problems without significant guidance.
- Strong preference for candidates who can clearly explain not only what commands or tools they use, but why they use them and in which scenarios

Required Skills and Experience:

- Strong Linux administration experience, including SSH, root-level operations, shell scripting, file editing, service inspection, and environment variable management.




- Experience with VM and storage migration workflows, including volume lifecycle handling, unmanage procedures, infrastructure cleanup, and rollback-aware execution.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes fundamentals, including nodes, pods, namespaces, storage, networking, and basic cluster health troubleshooting.
- Experience provisioning or operating Kubernetes clusters through Spectro Cloud Palette or a comparable Kubernetes management platform.
- Networking fundamentals, including VLANs, DHCP/PXE boot behavior, DNS resolution, routing reachability, ping/ICMP validation, and network-device coordination.
- Experience using monitoring and logging platforms such as SignalFX and Splunk Cloud to validate health, identify errors, and support incident investigation.
- Strong change-management discipline with the ability to follow runbooks, update branches/PRs,document approvals, and pause before destructive actions.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Prior Spectro Cloud Palette experience, including cluster profiles, cluster provisioning, and lifecycle operations.
- Experience participating in customer-facing migration windows or qualified services delivery engagements.
- Familiarity with GitOps, GitHub/GitLab workflows, pull requests, and infrastructure-as-code operating models.
- Kubernetes certification or comparable hands-on experience, such as CKA, CKAD, CKS, or production cluster operations.
- Experience with data-center, bare-metal, PXE/Ironic, or private-cloud modernization projects.
