About the role
- We are seeking an expert Kubernetes engineer to configure, deploy, and operate mission-critical Amazon EKS infrastructure supporting petabyte-scale data processing workloads.
- 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
Responsibilities
- Design, deploy, and maintain production-grade Amazon EKS clusters architected for petabyte-scale data processing with high availability and fault tolerance
- Implement Karpenter consolidation and disruption policies balancing cost optimization with job resiliency
- Manage spot and on-demand instance strategies with robust node interruption handling
- 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
- 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.
