DevOps Engineer (Kubernetes, GCP & Gitops) Live Data Platform

JOB OBJECTIVES

- Implement and manage GitOps workflows: Use ArgoCD to synchronize Kubernetes application states with declarative configurations stored in Git.

- Build a complete CI/CD system: Integrate CI pipelines (build, test, push image) with ArgoCD for secure and efficient continuous deployment.

- Ensure consistency and traceability: Manage all infrastructure and application configurations as code (IaC/CaC) to enable auditing, versioning, and easy rollback.

- Optimize and monitor infrastructure: Operate and tune GCP & GKE environments for performance, cost efficiency, and high availability — especially for real-time workloads.
