Job Description

1. Architecture Validation & Strategy
Design Authority: Review and finalize ACM architecture, ensuring it supports diverse deployment topologies and critical Disaster Recovery (DR) requirements (Active/Passive configurations).
Infrastructure Synergy: Optimize the co-location of infrastructure management and ArgoCD to ensure a seamless "single pane of glass" for the platform.
Performance Engineering: Define storage and performance specs required to support high-throughput multi-cluster observability and alerting frameworks.
2. Observability & Performance Management
Data-Driven Insights: Lead stakeholder sessions to define and build custom Grafana dashboards that provide actionable data on capacity, network traffic, and workload scaling.
Alerting Framework: Design and implement a performant alerting framework that filters noise and provides SRE teams with discrete, actionable notifications.
Right-Sizing Initiatives: Utilize Multi-cluster Observability (MCO) and auto-scalers (HPA/VPA) to identify over-requested resources and automate application density optimization.
3. GitOps & Governance Automation
Configuration Drift Mitigation: Transition Day-2 operations to ArgoCD, ensuring all cluster configurations (RBAC, network policies, operator installs) are managed as code and automatically reverted if manual drift occurs.
Policy-as-Code: Establish a GitOps-based governance process. Create and roll out ACM Policy Sets to monitor cluster health and security compliance across the entire fleet.
Automation Integration: Integrate ACM Policies and Day-2 configurations into existing Ansible automation pipelines for full lifecycle orchestration.
