• Develop, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
• Manage DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) environments, including load balancers, networking, firewalls, and system updates.
• Set up, configure, and maintain bare-metal or lightweight Kubernetes environments (e.g., kubeadm, K3s, MicroK8s).
• Monitor performance and reliability using observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, etc.).
• Troubleshoot deployment, networking, and container runtime issues.
• Collaborate with development teams to ensure smooth delivery of applications and services.
• Maintain good documentation and follow DevOps best practices.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong expertise in Kubernetes: deployments, services, ingress, scaling, networking, volumes, and RBAC.
• Solid proficiency with Docker and containerized application workflows.
• Experience implementing GitOps using ArgoCD or FluxCD.
• Ability to set up and manage local/on-premise Kubernetes clusters.
