We are seeking an experienced Platform Deployment Engineer to implement and operationalize a segmented, single-host RHEL/KVM network architecture supporting a Kubernetes platform for a digital transformation programme. The engineer will be responsible for building the virtualization layer, deploying and configuring API gateway and reverse proxy services, provisioning segmented Kubernetes worker nodes, and implementing the network, firewall-adjacent, and security controls defined in the approved High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD).

This role requires hands-on expertise across Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtualization (KVM), container orchestration (Kubernetes), API gateway/proxy technologies (APISIX, NGINX), and enterprise network segmentation concepts (VLANs, DMZ design, firewall/NAT coordination with a managed perimeter provider).

Platform & Virtualization Build
- Install, configure, and harden Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as the KVM hypervisor host for all solution virtual machines.




- Build and manage Open vSwitch / Linux bridge networking to map VM interfaces to approved VLANs (operations/DB/KVM host, private-worker, public-worker, backup, inbound DMZ, outbound DMZ).
- Provision and maintain VLAN-segmented virtual networks strictly per the approved VLAN allocation table, ensuring excluded/reserved VLANs are never trunked, routed, or assigned.
- Configure the isolated, hypervisor-only public-worker network path and coordinate local segmentation controls without bypassing the enterprise-managed firewall policy.

Kubernetes Platform Engineering
- Deploy and manage a Kubernetes cluster with clearly segregated public-facing and private worker node groups, aligned to documented VLAN/subnet assignments.
- Implement default-deny NetworkPolicy, namespace isolation, and approved service/DNS exposure rules to prevent same-VLAN or cross-subnet API bypass.
- Enforce workload placement rules so public workloads run only on public worker nodes and private work
