About the Role::

Algohire Technologies is looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer with a strong foundation in containerization, automation, and hybrid infrastructure. You’ll be part of the team building and maintaining our hybrid environment, combining on-premises Kubernetes clusters, Docker Swarm deployments, and AWS-based services.
You’ll work alongside senior engineers to enhance reliability, automation, and observability across our systems involving Kafka, ClickHouse, Redis, PostgreSQL, and Prometheus-Grafana monitoring.

This role is ideal for engineers who already have solid practical experience and are eager to take ownership of production-grade deployments at scale.

Key Responsibilities::

1. Kubernetes & Docker Swarm

2. Containerization & CI/CD

• Containerize applications using Docker.

• Develop and maintain build and deploy pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub Actions.

3. Infrastructure Automation

• Use Terraform and Ansible for provisioning and configuration.

• Manage both on-premises VMs and AWS resources (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC).

4. Monitoring & Observability

• Configure Prometheus, Node Exporter, Redis Exporter, Kafka Exporter, and Blackbox Exporter.

• Create Grafana dashboards for health, performance, and resource visibility.

5. Logging & Metrics

• Implement centralized logging using ELK Stack or Loki for containers and system services.

6. Networking & Load Balancing

• Manage HAProxy, ingress controllers, VPNs, and firewall rules for traffic routing.

7. Secrets Management

• Handle secure credentials with Doppler, Docker Swarm Secrets, or Kubernetes Secrets.

8. Message Streaming & Data Integration

• Support Kafka, Kafka Connect, and ClickHouse integrations with proper schema validation.

9. Database Reliability

• Monitor and maintain PostgreSQL (Patroni clusters), Redis, and ClickHouse performance and backups.

10. Disaster Recovery & Security

• Assist in implementing backup strategies, access controls, and incident response procedures.

11. Collaboration & Growth

• Work closely with backend and monitoring teams.

• Contribute ideas to improve deployment workflows and learn advanced hybrid DevOps practices.

• Experience with Terraform and Ansible for automation.

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.

• Familiarity with AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC).

• Working knowledge of Kafka, Redis, ClickHouse, and PostgreSQL.

• Understanding of Prometheus-Grafana, exporters, and alert systems.

• Strong grasp of networking concepts — ingress, VPNs, DNS, and firewalls.

• Proficiency in Bash or Python scripting.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving mindset.
  

Preferred Skills::

• Experience with GitOps tools like ArgoCD.

• Understanding of service mesh (Istio).

• Knowledge of ClickHouse-Kafka integration and monitoring.

• Familiarity with AWS EKS, Elastic Beanstalk, and Firebase deployment workflows.

• Awareness of security compliance, IAM roles, and encryption practices.

• Prior experience in startup or agile environments.

What We Offer::

• Opportunity to work with hybrid (on-prem + cloud) infrastructure.

• Mentorship and learning from experienced DevOps engineers.

• Competitive salary, performance incentives, and growth opportunities.

• Collaborative and innovative work culture.
