Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer with strong expertise in Linux administration, Ansible automation, and Kubernetes platform engineering. The role involves migrating standalone containerized applications to production-grade Kubernetes clusters, standardizing deployments, and building reliable, scalable infrastructure through automation.

Key Responsibilities

- Kubernetes Migration: Migrate persistent data services and stateless/ephemeral applications from standalone containers to Kubernetes.
- Linux Administration: Manage bare-metal and virtualized Linux infrastructure, troubleshoot OS-level issues, and optimize system performance using command-line tools.
- Ansible Automation: Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles for configuration management, provisioning, and infrastructure consistency.
- Platform Engineering: Create and maintain standardized Helm charts, deployment templates, and GitOps-based CI/CD workflows.
- Infrastructure as Code: Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration; experience with Terraform is an added advantage.
- Monitoring & Logging: Implement and maintain end-to-end observability, monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting solutions.
- Service Migration: Collaborate with application teams to plan, execute, validate, and optimize Kubernetes migrations.
- Platform Reliability: Troubleshoot Kubernetes networking, storage, resource allocation, and application lifecycle issues.





Required Technical Skills
- 5 years of hands-on DevOps, Linux administration, or platform engineering experience.
- Strong experience managing bare-metal or on-premises virtualized infrastructure.
- Advanced Linux CLI skills, including OS troubleshooting, shell scripting, and performance analysis.
- Strong expertise in Kubernetes architecture, workloads, networking, storage classes, and lifecycle management.
- Hands-on experience with Docker/container runtimes and migrating containerized workloads to Kubernetes.
- Strong Ansible expertise, including playbooks, roles, inventory management, and configuration automation.
- Experience with Helm charts and GitOps tools/workflows.
- Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and observability solutions.
- Working knowledge of Git and CI/CD pipelines.

Good to Have
- Terraform or other Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
- Experience with production-grade on-premises Kubernetes deployments.
- Experience migrating stateful applications and persistent data services.
- Knowledge of Kubernetes cluster upgrades, backup, recovery, and security best practices.

Ideal Candidate Profile
- A highly hands-on engineer comfortable working extensively in the Linux terminal.
- Automation-first mindset with a preference for repeatable, maintainable solutions over manual fixes.
- Solid troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across infrastructure and application layers.
- Ability to lead technical migration activities and work closely with service owners.
