JobDescription

KubernetesEngineer

Summary

Thisrole is ideal for a Kubernetes expert passionate about container platformtransformation, with strong experience in Rancher environments and AKS, and theability to drive large-scale container migration programs while implementingrobust, scalable, and secure cloud-native architectures.

Overview

We areseeking a highly experienced Kubernetes Engineer with strong expertise inRancher-managed Kubernetes environments and migration to Azure KubernetesService (AKS). The ideal candidate will lead and execute large-scale containerplatform migrations, enabling seamless transition from on-prem/containerplatforms to Azure managed Kubernetes, while ensuring high availability,scalability, and secure CI/CD-driven deployments.

Thisrole requires deep hands-on experience with containerization, Kubernetesoperations, ingress/gateway architectures (HAProxy, NGINX), andenterprise-scale lift-and-shift container migration.

KeyResponsibilities

1.Kubernetes Platform Migration (Rancher to AKS)

• Leadmigration of Kubernetes workloads from Rancher-managed clusters (on-prem orIaaS) to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

• Assess existing cluster configurations, namespaces, workloads, anddependencies.

• Define and execute migration strategies (lift-and-shift, re-platform, phasedmigration).

• Ensure minimal downtime and zero data loss during migration.

2.Container Workload Migration

• Migrate containerized applications to AKS at scale.

• Refactor container images and manifests where necessary for AKS compatibility.

• Optimizeresource allocation, scaling policies, and pod distribution.

3.Kubernetes Architecture & Design

• Design production-grade AKS architectures with:

• Highavailability (multi-node pools, zones)

• Auto-scaling (HPA, cluster autoscaler)

• Secure networking (VNet integration, private clusters)

• Implement best practices for multi-tenant and namespace isolation.

4.CI/CD Integration for Kubernetes

• Integrate Kubernetes deployments into CI/CD pipelines using:

• Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions / GitLab CI

• Implement GitOps practices (ArgoCD/Flux) where applicable.

• Automate build, test, and deployment of containerized applications.

5.Ingress & Gateway Architecture

• Design and implement ingress and gateway solutions using:

• NGINX Ingress Controller

• HAProxy-based gateways/load balancers

• Configure routing, SSL termination, rate limiting, and security policies.

• Ensure high availability and fault tolerance of ingress layer.

6.Networking & Security

• ConfigureKubernetes networking (CNI, network policies).

• Implement secure communication using TLS, secrets, and RBAC.

• Integrate with Azure services such as Azure AD, Key Vault, and PrivateEndpoints.

7.Observability & Monitoring

• Implement monitoring and logging using:

• Azure Monitor for Containers

• Prometheus & Grafana

• LogAnalytics

• Define SLIs/SLOs and alerting strategies.

8.Performance Optimization

• Optimize cluster performance, pod scheduling, and resource utilization.

• Conduct load testing and capacity planning for large-scale workloads.

9.Automation & Infrastructure as Code

• Provision and manage infrastructure using:

• Terraform

• ARM/ Bicep

• Automate cluster setup, upgrades, and scaling.

10.Collaboration & Leadership

• Workclosely with DevOps, application, and cloud architecture teams.

• Provide guidance on container best practices and Kubernetes usage.

• Support enterprise migration programs and troubleshooting.
