  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate private cloud infrastructure with existing environments, ensuring scalability, security, and performance.
  • Manage and maintain containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift), ensuring smooth deployment and operation of containerized applications.
  • Work on storage integration across various environments, ensuring availability, resilience, and performance.
  • Automate deployment and management of infrastructure, with a strong focus on using Puppet alongside other tools such as Ansible or Terraform.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure issues related to compute, storage, and networking in both virtualized and containerized environments.
  • Provide technical documentation for solutions, including design documents, user guides, and operational runbooks.
  • Collaborate with various teams to ensure the successful delivery of projects and maintain a high level of operational efficiency.
  • Participate in continuous improvement processes, recommending optimizations for infrastructure performance, cost, and security.
