Greetings from Xebia,

I hope you are doing well. I came across your profile and was impressed by your hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Ansible and self-managed infrastructure.

I would like to share an opportunity within Xebia

About the role: DevOps Engineer

Xebia delivers its platform inside customers' own datacentres, including regulated and air-gapped environments. In this role, you would own the deployment and operation of that platform end to end, from the Linux VMs and databases through to Kubernetes and thAbout the role: DevOps Engineer (On-Prem Platform Deployments)e Java/Spring Boot services running on it.

Key Responsibilities:

Deploy and upgrade services on Kubernetes using Helm, and manage the clusters themselves (upgrades, etcd, certificates, ingress, storage)

Operate self-managed MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, along with Redis, Kafka and RabbitMQ

Build reusable Ansible automation that installs the full stack at every customer site

Troubleshoot production issues across the VM, network, Kubernetes and JVM layers

Work directly with customer infrastructure, network and security teams, including occasional in office visits and out-of-hours upgrade windows

What we are looking for:

3-4 years of hands-on experience in on-prem or VM-based environments

Practical experience with Kubernetes operations, Helm and Ansible

Strong Linux and networking fundamentals

Experience running databases and messaging systems yourself, rather than through managed cloud services

What this role offers

Full-stack ownership, rather than a single slice of the infrastructure

Direct exposure to enterprise customers and real production environments

Add one or two highlights: compensation range, learning budget, growth path, team

Detailed JD

As a DevOps Engineer, youll be responsible for deploying, managing, and troubleshooting our on-prem platform across customer datacentres.



Were looking for someone with 3-4 years of hands-on experience across self-managed databases, Linux and networking, Kubernetes operations, and Ansible automation. Youll also own production issues and work closely with customer infrastructure, network, and security teams.

Key Responsibilities

Deploy and upgrade Java/Spring Boot services on Kubernetes clusters inside customer datacentres, using Helm with per-customer value sets.

Manage the Kubernetes clusters themselves installation and version upgrades, node lifecycle and capacity, control-plane and etcd health, certificate rotation, CNI, ingress and storage classes both on clusters we build and on enterprise distributions the customer provides.

Provision, tune and operate self-managed databases on Linux VMs MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB — including replication, backup, verified point-in-time restore, and version upgrades.

Provision and operate the middleware layer on VMs — Redis (Sentinel), Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ — including clustering, authentication and capacity planning.

Run OpenSearch as the centralised application log store: shard and heap sizing, index lifecycle and retention policies, cluster health.

Automate the full infrastructure build with Ansible — reusable roles plus per-customer inventories, so the same automation installs the stack at every customer without being forked.

Own day-2 Kubernetes operations: rollouts, probe and resource tuning, persistent storage, ingress and TLS,



and diagnosis of pod, scheduling and networking failures.

Troubleshoot production issues across the VM, network, Kubernetes and JVM boundaries — determine whether a fault is infrastructure or application, and drive root-cause analysis.

Debug connectivity problems at the command line: routing, firewalls, DNS, MTU, TLS chains and certificate trust, packet capture.

Manage certificates, truststores and private container registry (Harbor) content for restricted and air-gapped environments.

Monitor the platform using Prometheus, Grafana and OpenSearch — define what gets alerted on, not only what gets dashboarded.

Write Python and Shell automation for provisioning, health checks and routine operational tasks.

Apply security and access hygiene appropriate to regulated customer environments — least privilege access, secret handling, network segmentation, audit readiness.

Produce and maintain runbooks and handover documentation so a customer's own operations team can run what we install.

Work directly with customer infrastructure, network and security teams during deployment and issue resolution, on-site where required.

Collaborate with development and QA teams to plan and execute releases.

Support periodic out-of-hours deployment and upgrade windows at customer sites The detailed is attached for your reference. If the role interests you, I would be grateful if you could reply with:

1. Your updated CV
2. Current CTC and expected CTC

3. Notice period
4. Current location, and your comfort with 5 Days Office a week.

I would also be happy to schedule a 15-minute call at a time convenient to you, to walk you through the role and answer any questions. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
