Advanced Specialist–Kubernetes & Cloud Platform
HARMAN International
Role Description The Advanced Specialist – Kubernetes Platform role focuses on designing, building, and operating highly available, scalable Kubernetes platforms across hybrid environments, including on-premises and cloud services such as AWS EKS and Azure AKS. The engineer will take end-to-end ownership of Kubernetes cluster architecture, application deployments using kubectl and Helm, and progressively adopt GitOps practices through tools like ArgoCD. The role involves implementing robust observability frameworks using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Mimir to ensure system reliability, along with defining and improving SLA/SLO metrics. A significant aspect of the role includes automating infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and scripting, managing Kubernetes-native storage and networking, and enforcing strong security controls such as RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper, network policies, and secrets management. Additionally, the engineer will design and test backup and disaster recovery strategies, lead incident response and root cause analysis, and participate in on-call rotations. This position also requires mentoring team members, documenting best practices, and continuously driving improvements in cloud-native, DevOps, and Kubernetes ecosystem practices. What You Will Do - Design, build, and manage highly available Kubernetes clusters across hybrid environments (on-premises and cloud platforms such as AWS EKS, Azure AKS). - Deploy and manage applications manually using tools such as kubectl and Helm, with growing integration of GitOps practices (e.g., ArgoCD). - Implement and manage observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Mimir to monitor infrastructure, applications, and system performance. - Define, monitor, and improve SLA/SLO/SLI metrics and alerting systems to ensure platform reliability. - Automate provisioning and configuration of infrastructure using Terraform, Helm, and scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python). - Plan, implement, and test backup and disaster recovery (DR) strategies using tools like Velero, Commvault, etc. - Manage Kubernetes-native networking, storage, and security configurations (Ceph, NFS, Ingress, PodSecurityPolicies, etc.). - Configure and enforce Kubernetes security best practices using RBAC, OPA/Gatekeeper, NetworkPolicies, and secrets management tools. - Integrate and operate Kubernetes ecosystem tools such as Karpenter, MicroK8s, Service Meshes, and kubectl plugins. - Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and lead resolution efforts for incidents. - Participate in the on-call rotation for platform availability and incident management. - Maintain up-to-date documentation, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and SOPs. - Mentor engineers and advocate for Kubernetes, security, observability, and deployment best practices across teams. - Continuously stay informed of industry trends in container orchestration, GitOps, security, and cloud-native tooling. Qualifications - 6–9 years of IT/Infrastructure/DevOps experience, with 5+ years in Kubernetes operations in production environments. - Strong hands-on experience in Kubernetes architecture, cluster operations, and manual application deployment practices. - Intermediate-level experience in Kubernetes Security, including: - Cluster hardening, secrets management - Pod Security Standards (PSS), OPA/Gatekeeper - Network policies, image scanning, and runtime protections - Intermediate experience with ArgoCD for GitOps-style Kubernetes deployments. - Solid proficiency in Linux system administration (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL) and troubleshooting. - Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-native storage (e.g., Ceph, NFS) and persistent volume provisioning. - Strong familiarity with observability tools: Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Mimir, etc. - Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, Helm, and scripting. - Experience with Velero, Commvault, or similar for backup and DR. - Experience operating and optimizing cloud-native Kubernetes platforms like EKS, AKS. - Exposure to tools like Karpenter, MicroK8s, Service Mesh, and Ingress Controllers. - Familiarity with AI/ML workloads running on Kubernetes is a plus. Bonus Points if You Have - Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent. - Strong problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. What Makes You Eligible - Be willing to travel internationally occasionally if required. - Be willing to work in an office. Benefits - Flexible work environment, allowing for full-time remote work globally for positions that can be performed outside a HARMAN or customer location. - Access to employee discounts on world-class HARMAN and Samsung products (JBL, HARMAN Kardon, AKG, etc.). - Extensive training opportunities through our own HARMAN University. - Competitive wellness benefits. - Tuition reimbursement. - “Be Brilliant” employee recognition and rewards program. - An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development.
