- 2) Automate provisioning, scaling, patching, and disaster recovery of VMs and associated networking/storage using Terraform and custom Python tooling.
- 3) Deploy and maintain OpenShift clusters (secondary focus) for containerised workloads, integrating them seamlessly with the underlying virtualised fabric.
- 4) Create and manage CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Argo CD, Tekton) that deliver both VM based and container based services with zero downtime releases.
- 5) Implement security and compliance controls (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, RBI/CBI) via policy as code, role based access, network segmentation, and automated vulnerability scanning.
- 6) Develop observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki/Elastic, Jaeger) to monitor VM health, OpenShift clusters, and application performance; drive RCA and continuous improvement.
Contributing Responsibilities
- 1) Collaborate with application, security, and networking teams to migrate legacy banking workloads to virtualised or containerised platforms, ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance.
