Role Summary

The Platform Support Specialist provides advanced operational support for containerized platforms and supporting infrastructure in a telecom environment. This role focuses on Kubernetes, Linux, Python, and Ansible automation, with hands-on exposure to cloud platforms. You will ensure platform reliability, performance, security, and scalability while partnering closely with L1/L3 support, application teams, vendors, and infrastructure specialists.

What will your job look like?

• Key Responsibilities

  • Kubernetes & Containers
    • Operate, monitor, and troubleshoot Kubernetes clusters (incl. RBAC, namespaces, deployments, pods, services, ingress).
    • Manage platform components (Helm charts, operators, registries), and optimize scheduling, autoscaling, and resource quotas.
  • Automation & Configuration
    • Develop robust Python automation (deployments, health checks, remediation, reporting).
    • Build Ansible playbooks/roles for configuration management, patching, and drift remediation.
  • Linux & Infrastructure
    • Perform Linux administration (user management, package management, security hardening, performance tuning).
    • Support platform capacity planning, patching cycles, and backup/restore operations aligned to RPO/RTO targets.
  • Cloud & PaaS
    • Support workloads on cloud platforms (e.g., Azure) and enterprise Kubernetes distributions (e.g., OpenShift).
    • Integrate platform services with observability and secrets management.
  • Reliability & Operations
    • Implement proactive monitoring, alerting, and performance tuning (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana, ELK).
    • Resolve L2/L3 incidents, conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and deliver permanent fixes.
  • Process & Collaboration
    • Use ITSM tools (e.g., ServiceNow) for incident, change, and problem management; ensure SLA adherence and documentation quality.
    • Create and maintain runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge articles; collaborate with application owners, developers, and vendors.

All you need is...

• Mandatory Requirements

  • Advanced proficiency in Python (beyond basic scripting; production-grade tooling/automation).
  • Proven Linux administration experience (troubleshooting, performance, security).
  • Proficient in Ansible (playbooks, roles, inventories, CI/CD integration).
  • Expertise in Kubernetes (operations, troubleshooting, scaling, security).
  • Hands-on exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., Azure; OpenShift/RHOCP experience is a plus).

  Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years in platform/IT operations supporting containerized and/or virtualized environments.
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical thinking, and incident/RCA discipline in SLA-driven environments.
  • Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) and Git-based workflows.
  • Familiarity with networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing, certificates/TLS).
  • Experience with ITSM tools (ServiceNow) and change management best practices.
  • Ability to work in a 24×7 support model with rotational on-call.

  Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

  • VMware stack experience (vSphere, ESXi, vCenter).
  • Experience with Helm, Operators, and container registries.
  • Knowledge of security practices (RBAC, PodSecurity, secrets management).
  • Exposure to databases (Snowflake, NoSQL) for platform-integrated services.
  • CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI) and Infrastructure-as-Code practices.
