Run and improve the platform that the Wholesale applications depend on. You will own Kubernetes operations, CI/CD, observability and the reliability of Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Oracle and MongoDB in production, and lead incident response.

Responsibilities

• Operate and scale Kubernetes clusters and workloads: deployments, HPA/VPA, ingress, network policies, RBAC, namespaces, upgrades and capacity planning.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins or similar) with automated build, test, security scan, artifact and deployment gates.

• Manage infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, Helm); drive GitOps-style, repeatable and auditable releases.

• Run and tune Kafka (brokers, topics, partitions, consumer lag, retention), RabbitMQ (clusters, queues, DLQs, shovels), and Redis (HA, persistence, memory).

• Support Oracle and MongoDB operations with DBAs: backups, restores, replication, failover, patching, slow-query analysis.

• Build observability: dashboards, alerts and SLOs using Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk or ELK, and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger).

• Provision and operate workloads on AWS (EKS, EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) and manage identity integration with Microsoft Entra ID (app registrations, service principals, conditional access, group-based RBAC for Kubernetes and pipelines).

• Lead incident response, on-call, post-incident reviews and problem management; maintain runbooks and automate repetitive toil.

• Run release, change and environment management (dev, test, staging, prod, DR); perform DR and failover tests.

• Partner with Security on vulnerability remediation, certificate and secrets management (Vault or equivalent), and audit evidence.

Required qualifications

• 5+ years in DevOps, SRE or production operations of Java-based microservices.

• Strong Kubernetes experience (CKA or equivalent hands-on); Docker and container registries.

• Hands-on AWS (EKS, VPC, IAM, load balancers, CloudWatch) and Microsoft Azure Entra ID administration for SSO, RBAC and service-to-service authentication.

• Operational experience with at least three of Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Oracle, MongoDB, and working knowledge of the rest.

• CI/CD pipeline design; Git branching and release strategies.

• Linux administration, networking basics (DNS, TLS, load balancing), and scripting in Bash and Python.

• Monitoring, logging and alerting stack experience; incident management and on-call.

• Experience using Claude (Claude Code or Claude API) to automate runbooks, log and incident analysis, pipeline authoring and documentation, within company data-handling rules.

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform and/or Ansible; Helm.

Preferred qualifications

• Telecom or high-availability, high-volume transaction platform experience.

• Azure cloud services, service mesh (Istio), Vault, and chaos or resilience testing.

• ITIL, change management and compliance evidence experience.

• Familiarity with JVM diagnostics (heap and thread dumps, GC tuning).
