About the company and the work
Tumaini Consulting is a recruitment and staffing agency that places people on a permanent and contract basis with clients in the public and private sectors, with core expertise in Engineering, Finance, IT, Medical, Trade & Technical, Mining and Logistics. Its client is seeking a Platform / Cloud Engineer to support modern cloud-native workloads. The role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys automation, infrastructure, reliability, and building platforms that enable development teams to deliver software efficiently and securely.
Role details and duties
The original listing publishes no separate day-to-day duty list, so none is invented here. The shape of the work, as the advert states it, is platform and cloud engineering for modern cloud-native workloads: Kubernetes and AWS infrastructure, containerisation, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, GitOps, and monitoring and observability, so that development teams can deliver software efficiently and securely.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original listing are summarised here:
- Strong experience with AWS, including services such as EKS, VPC, S3, RDS, IAM, Fargate, Lambda, and CloudFront.
- Understanding of AWS Well-Architected Framework principles.
- Solid Kubernetes experience, particularly EKS.
- Experience with Kubernetes administration, including networking, ingress, and RBAC.
- Strong understanding of containerisation and cloud-native architectures.
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and AWS DevOps tooling.
- Experience with Helm and/or Kustomize.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK.
- Experience with Kubernetes GitOps practices and tools such as ArgoCD or Flux.
- Monitoring and observability experience using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, X-Ray, or OpenTracing.
- Linux experience.
- Understanding of distributed systems and architectures.
- Exposure to programming languages such as Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript.
The original advert does not state an experience level, so none is shown for this post.
