About the role
Position Overview: The Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) will play a key role in building and managing Kubernetes platforms that support cloud-native applications and services. This position focuses on architecting and managing reliable, scalable, and secure Kubernetes-based platforms on AWS, ensuring high availability and performance while optimizing costs and automation. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes platform creation, Helm charts, Karpenter scaling, and Istio service mesh. Key Responsibilities: - Kubernetes Platform Creation: Design, implement, and maintain highly available, scalable, and fault-tolerant Kubernetes platforms. Ensure clusters are optimized for production workloads, providing high resilience and operational efficiency. - AWS Infrastructure Management: Build, manage, and optimize AWS cloud infrastructure, including EKS,ECS, S3, VPCs, RDS, IAM, and more. Implement best practices for cost management, scaling, and security within AWS. - Helm Management: Utilize Helm to automate and streamline the deployment of applications and services to Kubernetes clusters. Create, maintain, and manage Helm charts for production-ready deployments. - Karpenter Implementation: Implement and manage Karpenter to dynamically scale Kubernetes clusters in response to workload demands. - Istio Service Mesh Management: Configure and manage Istio to provide service-to-service communication, security, and observability within the Kubernetes clusters. Enable fine-grained traffic management, service discovery, and policy enforcement. - Platform Automation & Scaling: Automate the deployment, scaling, and management of infrastructure and applications. Work with CI/CD pipelines to ensure a seamless flow from development to production with minimal downtime. - Incident Management & Troubleshooting: Respond to incidents, troubleshoot, and resolve system issues related to performance, availability, and security in a timely and effective manner. - Security & Compliance: Design and implement secure cloud infrastructure with appropriate access controls, network security, and compliance frameworks. - Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: Create and maintain detailed documentation for Kubernetes platform setup, operational procedures, and best practices. Promote knowledge sharing across teams. Required Qualifications: - 3+ years of experience with Kubernetes/ K8s, Helm,Karpenter,Istio; - 5+ years of Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform , Chef or Ansible - 5+ years of Experience with serverless computing (AWS Lambda, API Gateway) and microservices architecture. - Experience with multi-region cloud environments. - Proven experience with AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFormation, IAM, etc.) and solid understanding of cloud-native architectures. - Robust expertise in Kubernetes platform creation , management, and optimization (e.g., setting up highly available clusters, networking, and storage). - Hands-on experience with Helm for Kubernetes application deployment and management. - Practical experience with Karpenter for dynamic scaling of Kubernetes clusters and optimizing resource usage. Expertise in managing and securing Istio for service mesh, including traffic management, security, and observability features. - Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, CircleCI, Terraform, Ansible, Spinnaker). Strong scripting and automation skills in Python , Bash , or Go for infrastructure management and platform automation. - Experience with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools such as Prometheus , Grafana , CloudWatch , and ELK Stack . Preferred Qualifications: - Understanding of security best practices for cloud platforms and Kubernetes (e.g., role-based access control (RBAC), encryption, and compliance frameworks). - Familiarity with Docker and containerization principles. - Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience). - Certifications (Preferred): CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer), or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer are highly desirable.
