Job Details:
We're looking for a Kubernetes / DevOps Engineer to design, automate, and manage scalable containerized infrastructure in Azure. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (AKS), CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools to support modern cloud-native applications.
Responsibilities:
- Own and manage Kubernetes clusters (AKS) and associated Azure infrastructure - App Services, Key Vault, Storage, Networking, and Databases.
- Design, implement, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or ArgoCD for container-based deployments.
- Automate cluster provisioning, configuration, and scaling using Terraform or Helm.

- Work with developers to containerize applications, optimize deployments, and improve performance, reliability, and scalability.
- Manage and troubleshoot production and staging environments for Kubernetes workloads.
- Enforce cloud security, governance, and compliance across clusters (RBAC, Policies, Secrets Management, SOC2/ISO readiness).
- Continuously evaluate and enhance cost, performance, and automation across environments.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 10+ years of DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering experience (Azure & Kubernetes focus).
- Hands-on expertise with:
- Kubernetes / AKS: deployment, scaling, and operations.
- CI/CD Tools: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD.
- IaC Tools: Terraform, Helm, or ARM Templates.
- Scripting: Bash, PowerShell, or Python for automation.
- Experience in containerization (Docker) and cloud-native workflows.
