Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). * Experience. Five (5) years of overall experience, including three (3) years of professional experience in Cloud Kubernetes Operations, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). * Containerization. Strong hands-on experience using AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) - kubectl, managing namespaces, resource limits - and writing/modifying Helm charts. * AWS & GovCloud familiarity. Core knowledge of AWS foundational infrastructure and an understanding of operating within secure or regulated cloud boundaries. * Application ecosystems. Familiarity supporting .NET application environments and exposure to enterprise low-code platform topologies (Appian or similar BPM engines). * Windows Server . General familiarity with Windows containers is sufficient; deep Windows Server administration is handled by the Senior Windows Server / Cloud DevOps Engineer * Clearance. Must be able to obtain and maintain a Federal or DoD Public Trust; approved adjudication required prior to onboarding. Candidates with an active Public Trust or suitability are preferred. * Must be US Citizen or Green Card Holder. What Would Be Nice To Have: * Industry certifications. Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate, or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional. * Appian platform architecture. Hands-on experience with the Appian Operator on Kubernetes, including managing Appian Custom Resources (CRs) and monitoring data-plane components such as Apache Kafka. * Modern .NET ecosystems. Containerizing legacy .NET Framework applications into Windows containers, or working with cloud-native .NET Core/6/8 microservices on Linux containers (Windows-container experience is a plus, not a core requirement). * GitOps & continuous delivery. Declarative CD tools such as ArgoCD or FluxCD to sync and maintain cluster state directly from Git repositories. ## Description * Kubernetes Operations. Maintain, troubleshoot, and monitor Kubernetes pods, services, and ingress controllers hosting Appian stateful workloads and .NET applications. * Deployment Automation. Assist development teams in packaging .NET applications (Linux or Windows containers) and deploying them via Helm charts and established CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions). * Platform Support (Appian). Monitor the health and connectivity of self-managed Appian platform layers (Engines, Data Server, Kafka/Zookeeper data planes) using the Appian Operator on Kubernetes. * Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Maintain and update existing Terraform or CloudFormation modules to manage core AWS services (EC2, EKS, RDS, IAM, and VPCs). * Security & Compliance Operationalization. Execute routine cluster updates, patch container vulnerabilities, and implement RBAC policies aligned with FedRAMP or NIST SP 800-53 security controls. * Observability. Configure alerts, dashboards, and log streaming using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or AWS CloudWatch to minimize downtime. * Collaboration. Partner with the Senior Windows Server / Cloud DevOps Engineer, who owns Windows Server production operations, so this role stays focused on container-platform operations. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Mastering Kubernetes – Beginner Edition](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/530-mastering-kubernetes-beginner-edition) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) ## Related Articles - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023)
