Job Description

Location: Pune,Maharashtra,India

What you’ll work on

You’ll be part of a hands-on engineering team that designs, builds, and runs cloud platforms for real customers.

Your work will include:

• Designing and operating OpenStack-based cloud platforms, owning the full stack from control plane to data plane.

• Building and running Kubernetes clusters on top of or alongside OpenStack, including networking and storage integrations.

• Automating everything possible using IaC and configuration management.

• Debugging hard problems across compute, storage, networking, and orchestration layers.

• Improving reliability, observability, capacity planning, and operational readiness of platforms in production.

• Working closely with customers, architects, and internal teams to translate requirements into working systems.

• Raising the bar on security, access control, and compliance-aligned deployments.

This is a delivery-first role. You’ll design, implement, operate, and improve — often in that order.

Must-have skills

We’re looking for strong fundamentals and proven hands-on experience.

• Deep understanding of OpenStack architecture and core services: Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Keystone, Horizon, Heat.

• Strong grasp of Kubernetes concepts, cluster internals, networking models, storage patterns, and deployment approaches.

• Solid Linux administration skills with experience tuning systems for performance and stability.

• Hands-on experience with KVM/QEMU virtualization and hypervisor-level tuning.

• Strong networking fundamentals, including SDN/NFV concepts, Open vSwitch, VXLAN/GRE overlays, and multi-tenant networking.

• Experience designing and operating storage systems using Ceph, NFS, iSCSI, object storage, and HA setups.

• Proven automation experience using Ansible, Terraform, Heat templates, and Helm.

• Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning multiple layers of the stack, not just individual components.

• Experience working with API-driven platforms and REST-based integrations.

• Exposure to monitoring, logging, alerting, and capacity planning in distributed systems.

• Practical understanding of security fundamentals: RBAC, TLS, secrets management, and compliance-aware deployments.

Good-to-have skills

These aren’t deal-breakers, but they help you ramp up faster.

• Experience running OpenStack and Kubernetes in production at scale.

• Exposure to hybrid cloud or multi-cloud environments.

• Familiarity with SRE practices and reliability engineering.

• Experience building or extending operators, controllers, or platform tooling.

• Contributions to open-source projects or internal platform frameworks.

How we work

• We value engineers who understand systems deeply and take ownership.

• We prefer automation over heroics and clarity over complexity.

• We optimise for long-term operability, not just day-one success.

• We work closely with customers and believe trust is built through delivery.

Who will do well here

• You like working close to the metal and don’t shy away from ambiguity.

• You’re comfortable debugging issues that don’t have clean boundaries.

• You think in trade-offs, failure modes, and operational impact.

• You communicate clearly and document decisions so others can build on them.
