📋 Description

• Own day-to-day reliability, performance, and operations of Kubernetes clusters supporting active internal customer use cases (including GPU-enabled workloads). • Partner directly with internal program teams to onboard new workloads, forecast capacity, and support scaling as usage grows. • Diagnose and resolve complex Kubernetes issues across the platform, escalating architecture-level problems to the Platform Engineering pillar when needed. • Build and improve observability — monitoring, alerting, and dashboards (Prometheus, Grafana) — to drive down MTTD/MTTR and improve service availability. • Work with our internal CI/CD partner team to support GitOps-based deployment (ArgoCD, Helm) for internal customers running their software factories on top of ROCKS-managed infrastructure. • Support infrastructure automation and scaling across bare-metal, VMware, and cloud-adjacent government environments. • Contribute ideas for platform enhancements based on what you see across internal customer usage patterns.

🎯 Requirements

• Typically requires a University degree or equivalent experience and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience. • The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. • Experience installing, deploying, monitoring, and supporting Kubernetes clusters on-premises and/or in the cloud — with platforms such as Rancher RKE2, Upstream Kubernetes, OpenShift, or VMware VKS/Tanzu. • Working knowledge of Kubernetes-adjacent tooling: Helm, Ansible, Terraform, Python, and Bash. • Experience with observability and monitoring tooling such as Grafana, Prometheus, Alertmanager, or Loki.
