- Create and manage Docker networks for secure inter-container communication
- Push container images to Docker Hub, Cloudsmith, or Azure Container Registry and manage image versions and tags
- Create and manage Kubernetes Pods, Deployments, and Services using imperative commands and declarative YAML manifests
- Deploy applications on Kubernetes clusters with proper service exposure
- Implement Kubernetes networking concepts including Ingress, Egress, service discovery, and internal communication
- Understand Kubernetes storage fundamentals and pod-level persistence
- Deploy multiple microservices using Helm charts
- Convert Kubernetes YAML manifests into Helm charts
- Create, update, and manage Helm templates and values.yaml files
- Package and deploy applications using Helm for reusable and configurable deployments
- Deploy applications on OpenShift clusters using Docker-based build strategies
- Create and manage OpenShift BuildConfigs, ImageStreams, and DeploymentConfigs
- Configure automatic rollouts when new container images are available
- Create Services and Routes to expose applications through public URLs
- Explore and implement Helm-based deployments on OpenShift where applicable
- Design and implement GitHub Actions workflows for linting, testing, building Docker images, and pushing versioned images to Docker Hub
- Automate deployments by integrating GitHub Actions, Docker Hub, and OpenShift
- Configure and manage SSL/TLS certificates for secure communication
- Understand forward proxy and reverse proxy concepts
- Implement NGINX as a reverse proxy and ingress controller

- GitHub Actions (CI/CD workflows, Docker build & push automation)
- CI/CD pipeline design and automation
- YAML configuration and infrastructure-as-code practices
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in Cloud and DevOps engineering roles.
- Proven experience working with containerized application deployments
- Experience in Kubernetes and OpenShift environments
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools preferably GitHub Actions
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
Good To Have
- Experience with Kubernetes StatefulSets and persistent volumes
- Advanced Helm templating and chart optimization techniques
