BlueChip Technologies is a leading business application firm focused exclusively on assisting organizations in planning, designing, implementing and operating business application solutions and strategies that are central to creating and maintaining a competitive business advantage.
- This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer passionate about container orchestration, DevOps, and platform reliability. You’ll design, automate, and optimize large-scale OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters that power mission-critical applications across multiple environments.
Key Responsibilities
Cluster Architecture & Deployment
- Design, implement, and maintain highly available Red Hat OpenShift and Kubernetes clusters (on-prem and hybrid cloud).
- Deploy and manage containerized workloads, ensuring scalability, fault tolerance, and optimal performance.
- Implement multi-tenancy, ingress, and network policies to secure and segment workloads.
Automation & CI/CD Integration
- Develop and manage infrastructure-as-code using tools like Ansible, Terraform, and Helm.
- Integrate OpenShift with CI/CD pipelines using GitOps tools (ArgoCD, Tekton, Jenkins) to streamline continuous deployment.
- Automate cluster operations—provisioning, scaling, patching, and backup—through scripting (Bash/Python) and API integrations.
Monitoring & Reliability
- Implement observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and EFK/ELK stacks for proactive monitoring and alerting.
- Conduct capacity planning, performance tuning, and regular health checks on cluster resources.
- Lead incident response and root cause analysis for critical platform issues (P1/P2 escalations).
Security & Compliance
- Enforce RBAC, Pod Security Policies, and NetworkPolicies to ensure least privilege access and compliance.
- Implement image scanning and vulnerability management using tools like Aqua Security, Trivy, or Clair.
- Collaborate with the InfoSec team to align container platform security with organizational standards (CIS, NIST, ISO 27001).
Collaboration & Documentation
- Partner with development, DevOps, and cloud teams to optimize deployment pipelines and application performance.
- Maintain detailed technical documentation, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to platform engineering best practices.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in container orchestration and cloud-native infrastructure.
- Proven experience deploying and administering Red Hat OpenShift (OCP) and Kubernetes at scale.
- Expertise in Linux system administration and network fundamentals (DNS, load balancing, firewalls, ingress/egress).
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, GitOps principles, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- Proficiency with automation and scripting tools (Ansible, Terraform, Helm, Bash, Python).
- Experience integrating Kubernetes with cloud providers (AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or GCP GKE).
- Familiarity with container security, policy management, and compliance frameworks.
- Solid understanding of DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering practices.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and collaboration skills.
