Overview
We are seeking an expert Kubernetes engineer to configure, deploy, and operate mission-critical Amazon EKS infrastructure supporting petabyte-scale data processing workloads. This role requires deep technical expertise in Kubernetes internals, large-scale cluster management, and Apache Spark optimization to support thousands of concurrent jobs processing large volumes of Bigdata.
Core Responsibilities
Design, deploy, and maintain production-grade Amazon EKS clusters architected for petabyte-scale data processing with high availability and fault tolerance
Operate in air-gapped private VPC environments without internet access, managing secure package repositories and container registries
Debug and resolve complex distributed systems issues across EKS, Karpenter, and Spark, including scheduling bottlenecks, node scaling delays, and cascading failures under heavy load
Implement Karpenter consolidation and disruption policies balancing cost optimization with job resiliency
Manage spot and on-demand instance strategies with robust node interruption handling
Define and enforce ResourceQuotas, LimitRanges, and PriorityClasses to ensure fair resource distribution and prevent resource starvation
Configure persistent volume claims and provision container-native storage using Amazon EBS CSI driver for block storage and Amazon EFS CSI driver for shared file access
Optimize storage configurations for resiliency, high-throughput data processing workloads
Implement logging, alerting, and anomaly detection to identify provisioning failures, executor loss, and throughput degradation before broader system impact
Design fault-tolerant architectures with retry strategies, checkpointing, and graceful degradation patterns minimizing re-computation on failure
Develop and manage configs in a private VPC without internet access
Preferred Qualifications
Kubernetes certification (CKA, CKAD, or CKS) & AWS certifications
Active contributions to open-source Kubernetes, Karpenter, or Spark projects
Familiarity with FinOps practices and cost optimization at scale
Background in data engineering or analytics platforms
