DevOps Engineer

Oneture Technologies is looking for a hands-on DevSecOps / Platform Engineer to join an on-site, air-gapped, on-premises Kubernetes engagement. The platform underpins a mission-critical, security-hardened system and runs entirely on-premises across bare-metal infrastructure; this is not a cloud-first role. The engineer will own day-to-day cluster operations, CI/CD tooling, and observability across Production, DR, and UAT environments.

Responsibilities:

• Own and operate the on-premises Kubernetes clusters across PR, DR, and UAT upgrades, patching, capacity, and incident response.
• Build and maintain on-prem CI/CD pipelines and secure air-gapped deployment workflows.
• Implement and maintain the Prometheus/Grafana monitoring stack and an on-prem logging solution, with alerting for critical workloads.
• Work closely with application and data teams (streaming, database) to keep the platform secure, available, and performant.
• Document infrastructure, runbooks, and troubleshooting procedures for a security-hardened, air-gapped setup.

Requirements:

• Proven hands-on experience installing, configuring, and operating a Kubernetes cluster entirely on-premise / bare-metal (e. g., RKE2 kubeadm, k3s), not managed/cloud K8S (EKS/GKE/AKS).
• Strong grasp of on-prem-specific components: CNI (e. g., Calico), MetalLB or equivalent for bare-metal load balancing, ingress controllers, and persistent storage (e. g., Longhorn, local-path-provisioner).
• Experience managing multi-node clusters across Production, DR, and UAT with high-availability and DR failover considerations.
• Comfortable troubleshooting at the cluster, node, and container-runtime level (e. g., containerd) in a fully air-gapped environment.

On-Premise DevSecOps Tooling:

• Experience standing up and administering CI/CD tooling on-premises (Jenkins or equivalent; GitLab CI, Tekton, etc. ), fully self-hosted with no external/SaaS dependency.
• Ability to design secure, air-gapped CI/CD and artifact/image workflows (e. g., offline image transfer and import pipelines) where the environment has no direct internet access.
• Working knowledge of security hardening for on-prem environments: access controls, sudo/user policy restrictions, firewall and network segmentation across subnets.

On-Premise Monitoring and Logging:

• Hands-on experience deploying and managing a self-hosted monitoring and alerting stack Prometheus and Grafana at minimum.
• Experience with an on-prem logging/log-aggregation stack (e. g., Loki, ELK/EFK, or equivalent) for cluster and application-level observability.
• Ability to build actionable dashboards and alerts for cluster health, node resource usage, and workload-level metrics without relying on cloud-native/SaaS monitoring tools.

Linux Fundamentals:

• Strong Linux administration skills (RHEL/CentOS preferred). Kubernetes runs on Linux, and day-to-day troubleshooting happens at the OS level.
• Comfortable with systemd, networking (iptables/nftables, routing), storage/disk management, and package management in an offline/air-gapped context.
• Solid shell scripting ability for automation and troubleshooting.
