Kubernetes / AWS SME

Kubernetes / AWS SME

Client: MediaRadar
Location: Remote
Duration: 9–12 Months
 

Position Overview

MediaRadar is looking for a Kubernetes/AWS SME to help build, support, and optimize a production-grade Kubernetes platform. The existing platform has a proven AKS MVP, and the team is transitioning new feature development toward AWS/EKS.

The ideal candidate should be strong in Kubernetes, AWS/EKS, GitOps, and production platform reliability, with experience supporting highly available environments.

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong hands-on Kubernetes experience.
• Strong AWS/EKS experience; Azure/AKS experience is a plus.
• Experience supporting production Kubernetes platforms with High Availability (HA).
• Experience with Amazon EKS / Azure AKS managed clusters.
• Strong ArgoCD / GitOps experience.
• Experience with ECR / ACR container registries.
• Experience with GitHub and Azure DevOps/Git.
• Experience deploying and managing microservices, batch/data workloads, and ML/AI workloads on Kubernetes.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure, networking, scalability, reliability, and troubleshooting.
• Experience working across multi-cluster and multi-region environments.
• OPA (Open Policy Agent) experience is a plus.

Environment:

• AWS: EKS – 2 clusters per region, initially supporting 2 regions.
• Azure: AKS – 4 existing clusters, with older clusters being migrated to the new platform.
• GitOps: ArgoCD.
• Container Registries: AWS ECR / Azure ACR.
• Source Control: GitHub / Azure Git.
• Workloads include microservices, batch/data processing, and ML/AI matching workloads.

Key Focus:

The main focus is production support, HA, reliability, optimization, and expanding the existing Kubernetes platform into AWS/EKS. This is not a greenfield build—the core platform already exists, so the candidate should be comfortable polishing, stabilizing, scaling, and supporting an established platform.

Ideal Candidate:

A Senior Kubernetes/Cloud Engineer, Kubernetes SME, Platform Engineer, or DevOps Engineer with strong AWS/EKS + Kubernetes + ArgoCD experience and proven production-level platform support experience.
