Senior Platform Engineer with Pure Storage
Pure Storage, Inc., Jackson, Mississippi, United States,
SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...
As an MTS4 Senior Cloud Platform Engineer, you will specialize in designing, deploying, and managing large-scale Kubernetes and KubeVirt environments on bare metal infrastructure. Your expertise will be critical in ensuring high availability, performance, and scalability of our services. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect solutions that support our cloud platform's growth and reliability.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Architect, deploy, and maintain large-scale, bare-metal Kubernetes clusters and KubeVirt environments.
Implement best practices for Kubernetes and KubeVirt cluster management, including HA, scaling, backup, and disaster recovery.
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment and management of Kubernetes and KubeVirt resources.
Develop and enforce policies for security, monitoring, logging, and alerting in Kubernetes and KubeVirt environments.
Analyze and optimize system performance, ensuring the efficient operation of Kubernetes and KubeVirt clusters.
Implement observability solutions, including Prometheus, Grafana, and Fluentd, to monitor and maintain system health.
Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to Kubernetes and KubeVirt at scale.
Work closely with engineering teams to integrate Kubernetes and KubeVirt into existing workflows and applications.
Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for infrastructure designs, operational procedures, and best practices.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BRING TO THIS ROLE...
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
At least 8 years of experience in managing large-scale Kubernetes environments, with significant experience running Kubernetes on bare metal.
Deep understanding of containerization concepts, with hands-on experience using Kubernetes and KubeVirt in a production environment.
Strong understanding of KubeVirt and virtualization technologies, with at least 2 years of experience deploying and managing KubeVirt in production.
Proficiency in programming and automation using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent.
Expertise in Linux administration, networking, and security.
Deep knowledge of Kubernetes components (API server, etcd, controllers, schedulers, kubelet).
Understanding of Kubernetes networking (Services, Ingress, Network Policies, CNI plugins such as Cilium, Calico).
Skills in managing and troubleshooting Pods, Nodes, and workloads in Kubernetes.
Familiarity with Persistent Volumes, Persistent Volume Claims, Storage Classes, and storage provisioning.
Ability to configure and troubleshoot resource limits, requests, and quotas.
Understanding of KubeVirt's approach to managing and running VMs within Kubernetes.
Knowledge of VM creation, scaling, updating, and deletion processes within KubeVirt.
Proficiency in setting up and troubleshooting networking for virtual machines in KubeVirt, including bridge, masquerade, and SR-IOV modes.
Experience with different storage backends for KubeVirt VMs, such as Ceph, NFS, or local storage.
Ability to analyze logs from KubeVirt components (virt-handler, virt-launcher, virt-controller) and Kubernetes components.
Identifying and resolving resource bottlenecks (CPU, memory, storage, network) affecting VM performance.
Familiarity with Kubernetes debugging tools.
Experience with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Fluentd, Elastic) for monitoring and maintaining Kubernetes clusters.
Experience with CD tools for Kubernetes, such as Kubespray, ArgoCD, Flux.
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze and resolve complex infrastructure issues.
Excellent documentation skills, being able to produce technical documentation consumable by internal users.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Experience with additional cloud-native technologies (e.g., Istio, Calico, Helm, etc.).
Certifications in Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD), KubeVirt, or other related technologies.
Experience with running KubeVirt on PureStorage products, such as FlashArray, Flashblade, Portworx.
Familiarity with Public Cloud such as AWS, Azure.
Familiarity with agile development practices and tools.
Contributions to open-source projects related to Kubernetes, KubeVirt, or cloud-native technologies.
