The role involves supporting the platform design team within the Core Network Engineering Group. Key responsibilities include designing and implementing containerized IT infrastructure, building CI/CD pipelines, automating Kubernetes cluster lifecycles, architecting advanced observability and security solutions, managing complex networking and storage, and leading application migrations to Kubernetes. The emphasis is on design and implementation rather than operational tasks.

**Role: Devops Engineer with Strong Kubernetes
Location : Remote**

Job Type: Contract - W2
They need to be strong in Kubernetes and on Engineering/Design side not operational side
Details/Scope of the project: Platform design team. Support platform design and implementation across all applications within the Core Network Engineering Group.
Job responsibilities include :: Platform Design & Architecture: Design and implement end-to-end IT infrastructure for container workloads, including Kubernetes(Rke2) clusters, CI/CD pipelines, and automated monitoring solutions. CI/CD & Automation: Build and maintain high-efficiency pipelines using ArgoCD, Gitlab, JFrog Artifactory. End-to-End Cluster Automation: Design and build fully automated Kubernetes cluster lifecycles using Ansible and Shell scripting. Ensure "one-touch" cluster deployments. AI-Driven Operations (AIOps): Architect and implement MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to allow Agentic AI to securely access, query, and manage Kubernetes resources.
Advanced Observability: Design a high-availability monitoring stack using Prometheus and Thanos for long-term metric retention and global querying, visualized through complex Grafana dashboards. Security & Governance: Implement "Security as Code" using Open Policy Agent (OPA) for resource restrictions. Manage sensitive data by integrating HashiCorp Vault with Kubernetes(Rke2) via Secrets Store CSI Drivers.
Network & Traffic Management: Configure complex networking policies (Ingress/Egress), custom CoreDNS setups, and implement Istio Service Mesh with Kiali for enhanced observability and traffic control. Storage & Persistence: Architect and manage persistent storage solutions using Portworx, ensuring high availability and data persistence for stateful applications. Migration & Modernization: Lead the migration of legacy monolithic applications (e.g., WebLogic) and Docker Swarm workloads into optimized Kubernetes(Rke2). tools: Devops, Kubernetes, Argocd, Gitlab, Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, MCP, Istio, Ansible, Python
