Job description

A hands-on DevOps Engineer to support application modernization, Kubernetes adoption, and CI/CD automation. The role will focus on migrating applications from Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) to Kubernetes, standardizing Helm charts, enabling isolated deployment environments, and improving platform observability. The engineer will collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to deliver reliable, repeatable application releases.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute application migrations from PCF to Kubernetes, including application readiness assessments, configuration changes, deployment validation, and rollback planning.
• Consolidate and standardize Helm charts to simplify deployment management and improve reuse across applications.
• Implement environment segregation for development, staging, and production through appropriate namespaces, configurations, and access controls.
• Enable review applications using dynamic Kubernetes namespaces, including automated provisioning and cleanup.
• Implement shim components and seamless deployment pipelines to support application transitions and release continuity.
• Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines, incorporating automated builds, testing, deployment validation, and rollback capabilities.
• Guide development teams in adopting CI/CD practices and tools on the cloud and Kubernetes platform.
• Implement monitoring, reports, dashboards, and alerting using Dynatrace, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• Troubleshoot application deployment, pipeline, container, and Kubernetes platform issues.
• Maintain deployment documentation, operational runbooks, and knowledge-transfer materials.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• The candidate must have 10-15 years of experience.
• Strong hands-on experience in DevOps engineering, release automation, and cloud-native application delivery.
• Demonstrated experience migrating applications from PCF to Kubernetes.
• Proficiency with Kubernetes, containerization, Helm, and YAML-based configuration.
• Experience managing Kubernetes workloads, services, ingress, namespaces, configuration, secrets, and resource limits.
• Strong experience building and troubleshooting Git-based CI/CD workflows.
• Experience implementing environment-specific deployments and temporary review environments.
• Hands-on experience with Dynatrace, Prometheus, and Grafana for application and platform observability.
• Proficiency in Linux administration and scripting, such as Bash or Python.
• Understanding of cloud networking, role-based access control, secrets management, and secure deployment practices.
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with infrastructure as code and GitOps-based deployment practices.
• Experience supporting microservices and enterprise-scale cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with progressive deployment approaches, such as blue-green or canary releases.
• Relevant Kubernetes or cloud certifications.
