Who You Are

You’re a Senior Cloud Engineer working on the infrastructure side of cloud engineering, with deep hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production environments.

You’re used to working in critical, high-volume systems, where reliability and zero downtime are essential. You collaborate closely with Platform, Infrastructure, and SRE teams, and you’re comfortable integrating infrastructure work with CI/CD and GitOps workflows while communicating clearly with stakeholders.


What You’ll Do

  • Plan and execute the migration of Istio service mesh deployments from IstioOperator-based configurations to Helm-managed installations across production EKS clusters.
  • Ensure zero-downtime upgrades, preserving traffic routing, security policies, and observability configurations.
  • Design and implement safe migration strategies, including rollback and failure recovery procedures.
  • Troubleshoot complex Kubernetes networking and service mesh issues, including Envoy proxy behavior and traffic management policies.
  • Work closely with platform teams to integrate service mesh deployments into existing CI/CD and GitOps workflows.
  • Support production-grade traffic management patterns, including canary releases and gradual traffic shifting.
  • Create and maintain documentation, migration guides, and runbooks for operating the upgraded service mesh.
  • Provide knowledge transfer to internal engineering teams to ensure long-term ownership and maintainability.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and technical decisions clearly to stakeholders throughout the engagement.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Deep expertise with Istio service mesh, including migrations from legacy deployment patterns to modern approaches.
  • Strong understanding of Helm, including templating, dependency management, and release lifecycle practices.
  • Experience operating AWS EKS clusters and related networking components, including load balancers, ingress, and CNI plugins such as Cilium.
  • Advanced troubleshooting skills for distributed systems, using observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and tracing systems.
  • Proven ability to execute complex infrastructure migrations with minimal service disruption.
  • English proficiency at B2+ level or higher.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with CNCF ecosystem tooling and GitOps-based deployment models.
  • Experience integrating service mesh architectures into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
