Job Description

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Architect with extensive expertise in Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI/CD, and Service Mesh architectures to join our team. As a Senior DevOps Architect, you will play a pivotal role in designing, implementing, and managing infrastructure and deployment pipelines in a highly dynamic and fast-paced environment. You will work closely with development and operations teams to ensure seamless application deployments and management in cloud-native environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• OpenShift Management: Lead the deployment, management, and optimization of OpenShift clusters, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security of containerized applications.
• Kubernetes Expertise: Design and implement Kubernetes-based solutions, manage Kubernetes clusters at scale, and resolve issues related to performance, security, and configuration.
• CI/CD Pipeline Implementation: Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI. Integrate the pipelines with Kubernetes/OpenShift to enable automated deployments, testing, and release management.
• Service Mesh Architecture: Implement and manage service mesh solutions (e.g., Istio, Linkerd, Consul), including traffic management, security policy enforcement, and observability to enhance microservices communication, monitoring, and resilience.
• Automation & Infrastructure as Code: Use automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) to streamline infrastructure provisioning and management.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams (development, security, operations) to align on infrastructure, architecture, and DevOps best practices.
• Security: Ensure security best practices are followed across Kubernetes/OpenShift environments, including vulnerability scanning, RBAC, and network policies.
• Performance & Scalability: Optimize system performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency for cloud-native applications running on Kubernetes/OpenShift.
• Monitoring & Observability: Implement monitoring and logging solutions with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Splunk to provide insights into application performance and infrastructure health.

Must-Have Skills:

• OpenShift: Proven track record in managing and deploying applications on OpenShift, including cluster management, troubleshooting, and automation.
• Kubernetes: Strong hands-on experience in Kubernetes deployment, configuration, and troubleshooting in large-scale, production environments.
• CI/CD Pipeline Expertise: In-depth knowledge of CI/CD concepts and tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI, with the ability to integrate these tools into Kubernetes/OpenShift workflows.
• Service Mesh: Strong experience with Istio, Linkerd, Consul, or other service mesh solutions, including implementation, traffic management, and security policy configuration.
• Cloud Platforms: Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and integration with Kubernetes/OpenShift.
• Containerization & Docker: Deep understanding of containerization concepts, Docker containers, and container orchestration.
• Monitoring & Logging: Hands-on experience with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, or Splunk for monitoring and logging in a Kubernetes/OpenShift ecosystem.
• Security Best Practices: Strong knowledge of security practices, including vulnerability scanning, RBAC, network policies, and best practices for securing Kubernetes/OpenShift environments.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Cloud Integration: Experience in integrating Kubernetes/OpenShift with cloud-native services and platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Scripting/Automation: Proficiency in scripting languages like Bash, Python, or Go for automation tasks.
• Microservices Architecture: Understanding of microservices architectures, deployment patterns, and best practices for their management and scaling in a Kubernetes/OpenShift environment.
• Agile/DevOps: Familiarity with Agile methodologies and DevOps culture to drive continuous delivery and operational excellence.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI/CD, and Service Mesh technologies.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment.
