Responsibilities

As a Team Member, ensure that,

- Kubernetes & OpenShift Management: Design, deploy, and manage highly available Kubernetes clusters (specifically RedHat OpenShift Container Platform) exclusively in on-premises data center environments.
- RedHat Infrastructure: Administer, configure, and troubleshoot RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) servers, ensuring optimal performance, security patching, and compliance on local hardware.
- CI/CD Pipeline Automation: Architect and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD) to automate the build, test, and deployment of microservices without relying on managed cloud services.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Configuration: Provision and manage localized infrastructure using Terraform and automate configuration management across all bare-metal servers and VMs using RedHat Ansible.
- Monitoring & Reliability: Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana,) to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks or data center outages.
- Security & Compliance: Ensure container and infrastructure security best practices are implemented, including RBAC, network policies, and vulnerability scanning, adhering to strict internal physical and network security standards.

Skills

- Deep expertise in Kubernetes architecture, administration, and troubleshooting.
- Mastery of Ansible for configuration management and automation tasks.




- Extensive experience in RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) administration, system tuning, physical server provisioning, and shell scripting (Bash/Python).
- Proficiency in designing and managing CI/CD pipelines adapted for on-prem restrictions.
