In this role, you will primarily deploy, operate, and support the Centracs Mobility product line in customer on-premises environments running Kubernetes, and secondarily assist with the cloud DevOps that supports our hosted environments. You will work closely with development, support, and customer IT teams to deliver secure, reliable, and repeatable deployments., * Install, configure, upgrade, and maintain Kubernetes clusters in customer on-premises environments, on customer-provided hardware and virtualization platforms. * Package and deploy Centracs Mobility services using Helm and version-controlled, repeatable configuration. * Build and maintain the tooling, runbooks, and documentation that make on-premises installations and upgrades consistent and repeatable, including deployments into restricted or air-gapped networks (private container registries, offline install packages). * Provide platform services on premises without relying on cloud-managed services: ingress and load balancing, certificate management, persistent storage, secrets management, identity (Keycloak), and messaging (Kafka). * Provide platform capabilities for SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases, including provisioning, backup/restore, high availability, and upgrades. * Set up monitoring, logging, and alerting for on-premises deployments; diagnose and resolve issues in customer environments, remotely or on site. * Work with customer IT and network teams on site prerequisites, including networking, DNS, firewall rules, remote access, and hardware sizing. * Apply security hardening and patching to clusters, nodes, and containers; remediate CVEs; and support security practices and certifications such as SOC 2. * Assist with cloud DevOps: build and maintain Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized .NET (C#) and Angular applications, and support cloud-hosted Kubernetes environments. * Use AI tools to accelerate scripting, troubleshooting, automation, and documentation, and review their output before applying it to production or customer environments. * Work closely with the technical and support teams to deliver and manage services with maximum uptime. * Contribute to other projects as needed, such as software development., We prohibit Retaliation against individuals who bring forth any complaint, orally or in writing, to the employer or the government, or against any individuals who assist or participate in the investigation of any complaint or otherwise oppose discrimination.
