Job Description
Oteemo is seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to lead the migration of an existing
portfolio of applications into a containerized environment. This is a hands-on engineering role
focused on Kubernetes orchestration, Helm chart development, and ensuring applications
operate reliably on a RHEL 8 / Ceph-based private cloud platform. You will work at the
intersection of application development and infrastructure, translating software running in Java
and C++ into well-defined, production-ready containers.
Core Responsibilities
• Design, build, and maintain Kubernetes deployments and Helm charts for
migrating existing applications into containerized workloads.
• Collaborate with application developers to understand Java and C++ codebases and
ensure containers accurately reflect runtime requirements.
• Deploy and manage applications on a PAAS stack built on RHEL 8 and Ceph storage
running on x86/64 hardware.
• Apply OS and application hardening standards including STIG and NISPOM compliance
as security requirements mature throughout the program.
• Feed migration changes and deltas back into CI/CD pipelines built on GitLab and
Jenkins as needed.
• Leverage Ansible for infrastructure automation tasks to support deployment consistency.
Qualifications
Containerization - Primary Focus
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes for workload orchestration (deployment,
services, config maps, persistent volumes, RBAC).
• Proficient with Helm for templating and managing Kubernetes application deployments.
• Proven track record migrating legacy or monolithic applications into containerized
architectures.
Application Language Familiarity
• Working knowledge of Java application structure, build systems (Maven/Gradle), and
runtime behavior.
• Familiarity with C++ application compilation, linking, and runtime dependencies as they
relate to containerization.
Note: Deep software development expertise is not required - understanding enough to
diagnose container runtime issues and define correct images is the goal.
Platform - PAAS / Infrastructure
• Experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 administration and configuration.
• Familiarity with Ceph distributed storage and its integration in private cloud
environments.
• Comfort working on x86/64 infrastructure in an on-premises or air-gapped environment.
Security & Compliance
• Understanding of STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) standards and their
application to OS and container images.
• Awareness of NISPOM requirements in a defense or government contracting context.
• Experience with OS hardening, image hardening, and CIS benchmark application.
Preferred Qualifications
• GitLab CI/CD pipeline configuration and management. (Bonus - current team
coverage exists)
• Jenkins pipeline development and maintenance. (Bonus - current team coverage
exists)
• Ansible playbook authoring for infrastructure automation and configuration management.
(Bonus - current team coverage exists)
• Experience with PAAS infrastructure buildout on RHEL 8 and Ceph. (Bonus - current
team ownership exists)
