Cloud Engineer – Kubernetes & GitOps (IGT1)

The Cloud Engineer will build operate and improve Kubernetesbased platforms supporting Rhapsodys cloud services. You will own cluster reliability GitOpsdriven deployments (Argo CD or similar) infrastructureascode with Terraform modules and production monitoring using Grafanastyle dashboards. Youll collaborate with SRE Security and Engineering to deliver resilient observable and costaware services in a 247 environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and harden Kubernetes clusters: upgrade/patch node pools CNI ingress certificates autoscaling quotas RBAC and multienv promotion.
• Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using Argo CD (or Flux): app definitions health policies sync strategies drift detection rollback.
• Standardize platform addons via Helm/Kustomize (ingress cert manager secrets log/metrics/traces agents).
• Build reusable Terraform modules (networking cluster storage identity observability) and enforce plan/apply and codereview workflows.
• Create Python/Shell automation for cluster operations validations drift remediation image promotion capacity and cost hygiene.
• Develop and tune Grafanastyle dashboards and alerts; reduce noise improve MTTR and document RCAs.
• Apply leastprivilege secrets hygiene image provenance and policy controls; execute maintenance windows patching and upgrades.
• Keep runbooks/diagrams/SOPs current; contribute to knowledge base and mentor junior engineers.
• Collaborate with internal/external stakeholders during deployments cutovers and incidents; communicate tradeoffs and status clearly.
