DevOps Engineer

Synechron intends to extend its production environment, currently built on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Postgres as a Service , to support batch operations in addition to existing live traffic services. These batch operations are running flawlessly currently in Non-Prod environment.

Key considerations :

Ensure proper isolation between batch and live workloads through dedicated Postgres instances and node pools.

Implement deployment enhancements for simplified node pool dedication between live and batch operations.

We use Jsonnet configuration code and convert it into Kubernetes YAML manifests .

Adapt and configure Airflow python DAGs for batch processing orchestration.

Collaborate closely with the internal team to ensure a smooth transition of sensitive processes.

Team Responsibility

The selected engineers will be responsible for :

Maintaining and scaling Kubernetes clusters in Azure .

Ensuring proper (no shared VM) isolation between live traffic and batch operations.

Supporting deployment improvements for reliability and scalability.

Coordinating with engineering teams to maintain production stability .

Enhancing batch orchestration workflows in Airflow .
