- CI/CD Pipeline Maintenance: Support, optimize, and troubleshoot existing continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins).
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Assist in writing, maintaining, and applying modular Terraform/CloudFormation scripts to manage cloud infrastructure safely.
- Monitoring & Observability: Configure and maintain application and cluster monitoring, logging, and alerting systems using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack.
- Troubleshooting & Support: Investigate build failures, application crashes (e.g., CrashLoopBackOff), network connectivity issues, and cloud infrastructure alerts.
- Scripting & Automation: Automate routine operational tasks using Bash or Python to eliminate manual toil.
Qualifications
- Experience: 1 to 3 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, Systems Administration, or Cloud Support role.
- Kubernetes Core: Solid understanding of core K8s objects (Pods, Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Ingress, Persistent Volumes) and proficiency with kubectl.
- Docker: Hands-on experience writing clean, multi-stage Dockerfiles and managing container images.
- Cloud Platform: Basic to intermediate knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Linux Systems: Proficiency in Linux administration (shell navigation, systemd, file permissions, networking tools like netstat, curl, and dig).
- CI/CD Fundamentals: Practical understanding of Git workflows and building automated pipeline workflows.
Required Skills
- Certifications: Active CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer), or HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate.
- Experience with GitOps tools: such as ArgoCD or Flux.
- Exposure to Service Mesh technologies: (Istio, Linkerd) or Helm charts.
