• Support MySQL and Kafka components in production environments, including basic configuration, performance troubleshooting, and operational monitoring (as applicable to the role).
• Implement and support infrastructure management activities (capacity planning, patching strategy, configuration management, standardization).
• Enhance observability and telemetry: logging, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerting, and incident response using tools such as Splunk, Dynatrace, and Grafana.
• Configure and support load balancers and traffic management patterns (routing, health checks, TLS termination, failover).
• Contribute to sustained resiliency and disaster recovery readiness (RTO/RPO understanding, runbooks, testing, failure exercises).
• Drive automation across operational workflows (environment provisioning, deployment, validation, remediation, reporting).
• Collaborate with application teams, security, and infrastructure partners to improve platform stability and delivery practices.

• Proven delivery of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins/GitLab CI/Azure DevOps or similar) with automated testing and deployment.
• Hands-on infrastructure provisioning with Terraform (modules, state, remote backends, environments).
• Working experience with MySQL (operations, backup/restore concepts, troubleshooting, monitoring).
• Working experience with Kafka (topics/partitions, producers/consumers, operational monitoring/troubleshooting).
• Experience with observability/telemetry tools such as Splunk, Dynatrace, Grafana (logs/metrics/traces; alert tuning).
• Understanding of load balancing concepts and operational support in production environments.

• Practical experience supporting high availability, sustained operations, and DR/resiliency planning and testing.

  Preferred qualifications

• Experience with service mesh, ingress controllers, or Kubernetes policy controls.
