Candidates need at least five years of hands-on experience in DevOps or automated platform management, including:

• Deploying and administering container workloads with Kubernetes, Rancher, RKE2 and Docker.
• Building CI/CD and GitOps workflows, automating pipelines, and using version control with tools such as GitLab, ArgoCD or Jenkins.
• Applying IaC principles with Terraform to provision hybrid infrastructure and Ansible to automate system configuration.
• Managing infrastructure across VMware environments and a major cloud platform such as Azure, AWS or GCP.
• Writing Bash or Python scripts to automate operational tasks and integrate tools.
• Deploying and using observability tools, including Prometheus, Grafana and ELK.
• Solving technical problems analytically and delivering work with multiple teams in a fast-moving Agile environment.
