**Kubernetes Platform Engineer – Voice Services Modernization Skills:** Expert-level Kubernetes administration, deployment, lifecycle management, and troubleshooting, CI/CD pipeline development and automation experience Experience level: Mid-senior Experience required: 10 Years Education level: Bachelor’s degree **Please Note:** We are only looking for W2 Candidate's! **Position Summary** The Kubernetes Platform Engineer – Voice Services Modernization is responsible for designing, deploying, automating, and operationalizing cloud-native infrastructure for mission-critical voice applications. This role focuses on transforming traditional VM-based voice middleware and backend services into scalable, resilient Kubernetes-based platforms using modern DevOps, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and observability practices. The engineer will work across infrastructure, application modernization, automation, and operational support to ensure highly available, low-latency voice services are successfully migrated into production cloud-native environments. **Core Responsibilities** - Assess existing voice applications, infrastructure dependencies, and VM-based deployment environments - Design Kubernetes-based architectures optimized for latency-sensitive and high-availability voice workloads - Containerize middleware and backend applications and establish scalable deployment strategies - Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, deployment, and lifecycle management - Develop infrastructure automation using Ansible and Terraform - Deploy, configure, and support Kubernetes and cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, or OpenShift - Implement observability solutions including centralized logging, monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding - Apply operational best practices for security, resiliency, scalability, and production support - Support staged migration planning, testing validation, and production cutover activities - Troubleshoot application, platform, and infrastructure issues across cloud-native environments - Create operational documentation and provide knowledge transfer to engineering and operations teams - Collaborate with development, operations, and architecture teams to modernize legacy voice services **Required Technical Skills** - Expert-level Kubernetes administration, deployment, lifecycle management, and troubleshooting - Strong Ansible experience including role and playbook development - CI/CD pipeline development and automation experience - Cloud platform administration (AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack) - Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform - Experience with monitoring, logging, dashboarding, and alerting platforms - Scripting or programming experience (Python preferred) - Production applications support and operational troubleshooting - Understanding of high-availability and low-latency application architectures **Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills** - Red Hat OpenShift experience - AI/ML platform exposure or AI-assisted operations tooling - Telecom or voice application experience (SIP, SBCs, IMS, voice middleware) - Experience supporting cloud-native migrations from VM environments - GitOps and modern deployment methodologies - Experience with observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk, or Datadog - Outcome / Business Objective - Deliver a production-ready, Kubernetes-based runtime environment for voice middleware and backend services that improves scalability, resilience, automation, and operational efficiency while minimizing service disruption and migration risk.
