Key Responsibilities:

• Manage and operate Kubernetes environments using Rafay, including multi-cluster lifecycle management, access controls, governance, namespaces, policies, and application deployments.
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins.
• Automate infrastructure, deployment, operational, and integration tasks using Python.
• Deploy and operate cloud-native applications on AWS, primarily in Amazon EKS environments.
• Configure and support Istio service mesh capabilities, including traffic management, ingress, mTLS, authorization policies, observability, and resilience patterns.
• Implement secure, repeatable deployment processes across development, test, staging, and production environments.
• Collaborate with application, QA, security, platform, and cloud infrastructure teams to improve release quality and delivery velocity.
• Troubleshoot Kubernetes, container, AWS networking, CI/CD, and production deployment issues.
• Establish and enforce operational standards for availability, security, monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response.
• Document platform configurations, deployment processes, runbooks, and best practices.

Required Qualifications:

• 4 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Strong experience with AWS services including Amazon EKS, EC2, IAM, VPC, Subnets, Route Tables/Routing, Security Groups, Load Balancers, S3, CloudWatch, Route 53, Secrets Management, Encryption Services, and Kubernetes administration including cluster and workload operations, Helm and manifest-based deployments, RBAC, Service Accounts, Namespaces, Resource Quotas, Network Policies, Ingress, Services, DNS, Container Networking, and troubleshooting of Pods, Deployments, Nodes, and cluster-level issues.
• Hands-on experience with Rafay for Kubernetes platform or multi-cluster operations.
• Candidates with strong production experience in Rancher, OpenShift, Tanzu, or comparable Kubernetes management platforms may be considered where Rafay experience is limited.
• Experience developing and maintaining Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in Python for scripting, API integrations, automation, and operational tooling.
• Hands-on experience with Istio or a comparable service-mesh technology.
• Experience with Docker, Git, container registries, and Linux administration.
