• A minimum of 5+ years of dedicated DevOps experience with a strong focus on Kubernetes, automated testing, and observability in a telecommunications or high-performance environment.
• Proficiency in the specified technologies: CI/CD, C++, Java, any major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

CI/CD and Quality Automation

• Mandatory CI/CD Pipeline: Designing, implementing, and managing the core pipeline to enforce quality from a 'Continuous Confident Change' perspective, running on every Pull Request.
• Advanced Test Automation: Implementing automated Unit, Integration, and Characterization Testing (Golden Master Testing) to guarantee functional parity between C++ and new Java logic.
• Quality Gate Enforcement: Configuring the pipeline to enforce strict gates, including a 100% golden master match and a constraint of less than 10% performance regression.
• Configuration Management (CM): Delivering a streamlined, automated CM process & system to support accelerated timelines and a consistent 'deploy anywhere' capability.

Cloud-Native Deployment & Scaling

• Kubernetes Implementation: Hands-on experience with defining and managing key Kubernetes resources: Deployment (ntr-deployment) and Service (ntr-service).
• Horizontal Scaling Setup: Configuring and managing the Auto-Scaling Configuration based on traffic thresholds to support the CNF architecture.
• Lifecycle Management: Implementing Health Probes (Liveness/Readiness) and defining the Graceful Shutdown Sequence to ensure high availability and minimal service disruption.

Observability and Monitoring

• Full Observability Stack: Deep experience implementing all three pillars: Metrics Export, Distributed Tracing, and Structured Logging.
• Monitoring Tools: Implementing tools (e.g., Prometheus/Grafana or similar) to ensure the new platform is reliable and performant.

Security and Infrastructure

• Security Integration: Implement security best practices across the infrastructure and CI/CD pipeline.
