Help Shape the Future of Kubernetes Storage!

Our client's largest and most strategic customer is moving VMware-based workloads to KubeVirt on OpenShift. This is not a DevOps or automation-first role. This is about deep Linux/Kubernetes troubleshooting and hands-on operations.

As a Resident Engineer at CMK Resources, you’ll become a trusted technical advisor, embedding with the customer to deploy, manage, and support mission-critical storage environments on Kubernetes.

What You’ll Do

• Deploy and manage Portworx Enterprise across Kubernetes environments (OpenShift, OpenStack, AKS, etc.).
• Lead troubleshooting efforts involving persistent volumes, storage integration, Linux systems, and cluster operations.
• Collaborate with Portworx architects and Pure Storage experts to deliver optimized, secure, and scalable storage solutions.
• Act as the primary technical contact for support escalations, RFEs, and performance issues.
• Improve operational visibility using observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Azure Monitor.
• Document procedures, runbooks, and issue resolution guides.

Must-Have Skills

• 7+ years in infrastructure/IT, including strong Linux administration and troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters (on-prem or cloud).
• Deep understanding of persistent storage in Kubernetes (PVCs, volumes, storage classes).
• Any Cloud experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP) – particularly how Kubernetes interacts with cloud storage.
• Experience with OpenShift or similar Kubernetes distributions.
• Strong communication and documentation skills – you’ll be customer-facing.

Nice-to-Haves

• Certifications: CKA, CKS, Portworx Certified.
• Experience with FlashArray, Azure Managed Disks, or blob storage.
• Background in finance, research, or enterprise-scale environments.
• CI/CD knowledge related to Kubernetes and storage automation.

Benefits for you!

• Work on a flagship Portworx deployment supporting global-scale workloads.
• Collaborate with top engineers and architects from Pure Storage.
• Opportunity for extension or follow-on roles after the initial 12 months.
• A chance to deeply influence the success of a high-impact client project.
• Compensation expectation of up to 30 lakhs per annum depending on experience.
