We are hiring an experienced Kubernetes Administrator to own cluster operations, automation, and platform reliability for on-premise and cloud environments. This on-site role in India is ideal for hands-on operators who enjoy system-level troubleshooting, infrastructure-as-code, and improving platform maturity across CI/CD, observability, and security.Role & Responsibilities

  • Manage container lifecycle, image registries, and integrate clusters with CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Jenkins/GitLab).
  • Implement monitoring, logging and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Fluentd) and troubleshoot performance, networking, and storage issues.
  • Enforce platform security and compliance: RBAC, Network Policies, Pod Security Standards, secret management and image scanning.
  • Automate operational runbooks (backups, restore, cluster upgrades), perform capacity planning and document procedures to reduce MTTR.

Skills & Qualifications

  • Proven experience administering production Kubernetes clusters (EKS/AKS/GKE or on-prem).
  • Strong container tooling experience including Docker and container registries.

  • Solid Linux system administration and networking fundamentals (CNI, network policies, storage integration).

Preferred

  • Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) or Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD).
  • Experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd and multi-cluster operations.
  • Exposure to GitOps, ArgoCD and advanced cluster security (image scanning, runtime security).
Benefits & Culture Highlights
  • On-site role with opportunities for professional growth, hands-on ownership, and certification support.
  • Collaborative engineering culture focused on automation, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
  • Work on critical infrastructure powering high-availability enterprise applications with clear impact.
