!!! NEED HOUSTON TX LOCAL !!!

100% interview, PO role

These roles need support. Friendly reminder:
• If you're sending candidates with visa's - please send the visa copy (i dont look at resumes until I verify visas)
• Please make sure you send LinkedIn profiles
• Do not send me candidates at max rate if they dont have everything.

Keys
• Kubernetes, Grafana, will check on the security side
• .Net/C# doesn't need to be there main ability
• Have to have the knowledge of coding, but not a Sr resource here

o OVERVIEW FROM THE MANAGER
• Going through a modernization project, their apps iTom mainly needs to be modernized and change the architecture drastically
Data they gather is highly sensitive data
• All customers really ask security based questions
• Have to deploy in a different way-- how it's currently done is antiquated, moving into being able to deploy different microservices in Kubernetes, have to do this with iTom
• Platforms are still being developed so right now a lot of the work comes because of this, still in the beginning of the process of modernizing the platform
• Going to have to deploy at the Edge
• Portions of iCloud will have to deploy at the Cloud

This is why it's more DevSecOps focused
• Security and DevOps would be the a nice to have
Knowledge within Security is helpful
• Main responsibilities:
Deployment with the new microservices, pipelines, sound charts, troubleshooting
Grafana, they will have to work with
• Not modern yet
There will be a portion of the work that is going to be legacy work, like 2018
Fortran is the oldest that they're aware of here, along with some other legacy work
25% of the job is going to be supporting the legacy application
• Overtime, expectation this time will keep shrinking because moving to new platform


Role Overview
The team is in the early stages of a major application modernization initiative, with iTom being the largest and most critical application undergoing transformation.
• iTom's current architecture and deployment model are antiquated and need to be significantly modernized.
• The application handles highly sensitive data, so security is an important consideration throughout the modernization effort.
• The new environment will move toward microservices deployed through Kubernetes.
• Deployment will span both Edge and Cloud environments, making this a fairly strong DevSecOps-focused role.
• iTom is used across most, if not all, of their rigs, so this is a business-critical modernization initiative.
• This work will ultimately serve as a blueprint for modernizing smaller applications across the organization.

What This Person Will Be Doing
Primary responsibilities will include:
• Deploying new microservices within Kubernetes
• Building/supporting deployment pipelines
• Working with Helm charts (assuming "sound charts" in the notes was intended to be Helm charts)
• Troubleshooting deployments and platform issues
• Working with Grafana and observability/monitoring tooling
• Supporting deployments across Edge and Cloud environments
• Incorporating security into the deployment and DevOps process
• Supporting portions of the existing legacy application while the modernization is underway

Legacy vs. Modern Work
This is not a 100% greenfield/modern environment yet.
• Approximately 25% of the role will initially involve supporting the legacy application.
• Some technologies are older, with Fortran being one of the oldest mentioned.
• The expectation is that the amount of legacy support will continue to decrease as iTom moves to the new platform.
• The majority of the opportunity is centered around the modernization effort and new deployment architecture.
