must have a passion for turning complex manual tasks into reliable, repeatable, single-click operations. Manage Infrastructure as Code: Utilize Git as the single source of truth to manage configurations, manifests, and automation playbooks, enforcing modern engineering best practices. Bridge On-Prem and Cloud: Leverage AWS resources (specifically EC2 and S3) for hybrid components, staging environments, or cloud-to-on-prem data flows. Technical Tier-3 Escalation: Serve as the ultimate technical authority for deployment, Linux networking, and Kubernetes orchestration issues. Continuous Improvement: Constantly refine our delivery pipelines, optimize bootstrap processes, and create rock-solid technical documentation. The Dream Skill Set SRE / Delivery Mindset: 3–5 years of hands-on experience in enterprise infrastructure deployment, systems engineering, or an on-prem operational reliability role. Kubernetes & Helm Expert: Deep, production-grade experience with Kubernetes architecture, deployment, advanced troubleshooting, and CNI networking. Proven working experience creating, maintaining, and deploying applications using Helm charts. Ansible Mastery: Proven experience writing clean, scalable Ansible roles and playbooks for configuration management, automation, and infrastructure provisioning. Modern Workflows (Git & AWS): Solid working experience using Git for version control and collaborating on code/infrastructure. Practical experience provisioning and managing AWS resources (EC2 and S3). Core Systems & Linux: Strong Linux background (Ubuntu) with a deep understanding of system internals, containerized runtimes, and troubleshooting distributed applications. Solid Networking Knowledge: Hands-on experience with routing, firewalls, and switching topology (mainly Cisco) Storage Foundations: Working knowledge of storage protocols (iSCSI, SAN, local NVMe) and enterprise storage arrays (like DELL) interacting with Kubernetes Persistent Volumes.
