URGENT HIRING | DevOps / Platform Engineer

Location: Bangalore
Work Mode: On-site
Employment Type: Full-time
Hiring: Urgent

We are seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to design, deploy, and operate mission-critical infrastructure in fully airgapped and classified environments. This role requires deep expertise in bare-metal Kubernetes, offline CI/CD pipelines, and self-hosted observability at scale. The ideal candidate has a proven track record building zero-external-dependency architectures and reducing deployment complexity while maintaining strict security and compliance standards.

Core Competencies

• Deep VMware vSphere expertise (ESXi, vCenter, NSX-T)
• Proxmox / KVM for cost-sensitive or classified deployments
• PXE boot, IPMI / iDRAC, custom ISO pipelines for bare-metal provisioning
• Hands-on hardware knowledge: firmware, BIOS/UEFI, hardware RAID, NIC teaming
• Kubernetes (vanilla, RKE2, or OpenShift) deployed and maintained without internet connectivity
• Container image lifecycle: internal registries (Harbor), vulnerability scanning (Trivy / Clair), image signing (Cosign / Notary), airgap tar transfers
• Ansible (complex playbooks, custom modules, AWX / Tower)
• Terraform with local backends (MinIO S3-compatible, PostgreSQL)
• Self-hosted GitLab or Jenkins with strict plugin curation
• Artifact management: Nexus / Artifactory hosting Maven, npm, PyPI, Docker, and RPM mirrors
• Offline build systems, pre-cached dependencies, reproducible builds
• GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux running entirely on-prem
• Python / Go / Bash, building internal tools when no SaaS exists
• RPM / DEB packaging, custom package builds
• Kernel tuning, systemd, cgroups, performance at the OS level

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and operate bare-metal Kubernetes clusters across isolated security zones with zero external dependencies.
• Build and maintain offline software supply chains, including local Harbor registries, Nexus artifact repositories, and curated language mirrors.
• Design and implement PXE-based bare-metal provisioning pipelines to streamline server deployment.
• Lead migrations from monolithic VM infrastructure to modern containerized platforms to optimize resource utilization.
• Implement federated Prometheus observability across multiple isolated sites with centralized alerting.
• Harden RHEL and Ubuntu systems to DISA STIG standards and lead security audits.
• Provide technical mentorship to engineering teams regarding airgap-specific constraints and operational best practices.

About the Opportunity

We are hiring for our client Brooks for this critical DevOps / Platform Engineering role. The position requires strong hands-on expertise in secure, isolated, on-premise infrastructure environments and the ability to work with complex infrastructure and deployment requirements.
