R&D Engineer

As a R&D Engineer, you will...

• Design and implement enterprise-grade GitOps strategies, including declarative state models, multi-cluster reconciliation loops, and automated promotion patterns.
• Architect and automate Infra lifecycle management frameworks, covering secure base image governance, dynamic build pipelines, admission control, runtime orchestration, and ephemeral environment provisioning.
• Develop robust rollback and progressive delivery strategies (e.g., Canary, Blue/Green deployments) using GitOps operators.
• Develop and evolve infrastructure-oriented packages and platform in line with NCOM Evo release and package guidelines.
• Build and troubleshoot Kubernetes-based applications, leveraging expertise in Openshift, Docker, and service mesh layers like Istio. Optimize Kubernetes ecosystems by developing custom controllers, operators, and CRDs, and managing complex service mesh layers declaratively.
• Lead the design and operation of distributed systems and microservices at scale, ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Integrate AI-driven tools into CI/CD pipelines to automate workflows, including code generation, manifest validation, vulnerability patching, and pull request reviews.
• Manage infrastructure lifecycle automation for Openshift Container Platform (OCP), including installation, upgrades, and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RH ACM).
• Ensure secure and scalable cloud-native architectures, with hands-on troubleshooting and administration of Openshift environments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence technical decisions and drive innovation in cloud-native distributed systems.

If you have:

• A Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Telecom, or equivalent, with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong software development expertise in Go, Python, with hands-on experience in designing and running cloud-native distributed systems at scale.
• Proven expertise in Openshift, Docker, Helm and Kubernetes, including troubleshooting, administration, and lifecycle management.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (ideally GitOps), Linux administration, networking, and security.
• Experience with distributed systems, microservices, and service mesh architectures (e.g., Istio).

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Cloud certifications in Openshift and at least one public cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Experience with hardware management, including Redfish, UEFI, BIOS/eSW upgrades, GPUs, and Linux administration.
• Hands-on experience with workflow design and development, including CI/CD pipelines and AI-based development workflows.
