Configure Kubernetes networking, ingress and autoscaling using HPA and Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler. Manage secrets and configuration using Vault. ● CI/CD pipeline management: Build and optimise pipelines using Bitbucket, Jenkins and Ansible to automate code deployment and infrastructure changes, enabling safe, rapid and reliable releases. ● Automation: Develop and maintain automation tools and scripts using Python, Shell or Bash. Optimise blue-green, canary and rolling deployment strategies. ● Observability and monitoring: Implement and enhance monitoring, alerting and logging solutions to provide real-time visibility into system health. Monitor uptime, end-to-end performance and dependent infrastructure to meet SLAs. ● Performance and cost optimisation: Proactively analyse system capacity and optimise AWS resource utilisation, balancing performance, availability and cost-efficiency. ● Security and compliance: Apply Kubernetes and cloud security best practices, including role-based access control (RBAC), pod security, network policies, secrets management and image scanning within EKS.
· Operational reliability:



Troubleshoot complex or critical infrastructure issues, analyse service dependencies, define mitigations and document resolutions. Apply change management and disaster recovery principles, and support incident response and on-call operations.
· Collaboration: Partner with development, product management and cross-functional teams to improve availability, performance, security and maintainability, aligning infrastructure goals with business objectives.
· Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to improve infrastructure and automation efficiency. Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies, and recommend relevant enhancements. You will bring hands-on experience in deploying and maintaining secure, reliable infrastructure, supported by solid troubleshooting and automation skills.
