including build, tagging, scanning, deployment, and troubleshooting.\nPractical Helm, Kubernetes YAML, GitOps/ArgoCD, and CI/CD integration experience.\nStrong troubleshooting across pod crashes, image pulls, service discovery, ingress/routing, DNS, networking, storage, scheduling failures, failed rollouts, and application availability.\nAWS operating knowledge covering VPC networking, routing, IAM, CloudWatch/observability, security groups/firewall coordination, and production support practices.\nMust-Have: Automation, Reliability & Operations\nAutomation using Shell scripting, Python basics, YAML, Helm, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD pipeline hooks.\nProduction operations experience covering incident, change and problem management, patching, vulnerability remediation, audit evidence, service requests, and runbooks.\nStrong observability mindset covering logs, metrics, alerts, dashboards, health checks, capacity, error patterns, and incident-learning actions.\nAbility to provide on-call support and drive L3 troubleshooting through RCA and corrective/preventive actions.\nLegacy Middleware / Transition Skills\nWorking hands-on knowledge of WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Liberty, WebLogic, BPM, and API Gateway platforms such as Apigee or equivalent.\nJVM monitoring/tuning, heap and thread dump collection/analysis, certificate lifecycle, CSR generation, certificate deployment, and validation.\nMiddleware patching, upgrades, vulnerability remediation, OS/DB maintenance coordination, service requests, and production support.\nUnderstanding of REST, SOAP, APIs, JSON, XML, OAuth/token concepts, Postman-based validation, and API troubleshooting.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn day-2 operations for EKS/Kubernetes workloads, including deployment support, access, namespace management, health checks, scaling, configuration, troubleshooting, and controlled releases.\nBuild, deploy, upgrade, rollback, and troubleshoot workloads using container images, Kubernetes manifests, Helm, ArgoCD/GitOps, kubectl, AWS CLI, and CI/CD pipelines.\nPerform L3 troubleshooting across pods, services, ingress, DNS, networking, secrets, storage, nodes, scheduling, releases, and workload performance.\nPartner with application and platform teams to modernize VM/middleware-hosted workloads into containerized deployment models.\nMaintain legacy middleware during transition, including runtime support, JVM analysis, certificate management, patch/upgrade coordination, vulnerability remediation, and production issue support.\nApply secure practices across IAM, RBAC, secrets, TLS/certificates, patching, vulnerabilities, audit controls, and least-privilege access.\nDrive automation and standardization through reusable scripts, Helm patterns, runbooks, GitOps workflows, dashboards, and reduced manual intervention.\nMaintain runbooks, SOPs, RCA documents, KT material, migration notes, and support documentation.\nExpected Profile\n8-15 years in infrastructure, middleware, application hosting, platform engineering, or production operations.\nStrong hands-on experience with Kubernetes/EKS, containers, automation, and cloud-based workload operations.\nProven production support experience with incident/change discipline, service ownership, vulnerability remediation, patching, audit support, and operational controls.\nComfortable supporting a hybrid transition model where legacy platforms remain operational while future delivery centers on EKS, containers, automation, and modern platform engineering.\nIdeal background: a middleware or infrastructure engineer who has successfully expanded into Kubernetes/EKS operations and can support modernization at scale without losing control of existing production platforms.\nTools & Ways of Working\nKubernetes/EKS: kubectl, eksctl, AWS CLI, Helm, ArgoCD, GitOps, YAML, Docker/container runtime.\nCloud/Security: AWS, IAM, RBAC, VPC networking, DNS/routing, CloudWatch, secrets, certificates, vulnerability remediation.\nAutomation/IaC: Shell, Python basics, Ansible, Terraform, Helm templates, CI/CD integration.\nOperations: JIRA, Confluence, ServiceNow, Agile, ITIL, Incident/Change/Problem Management, RCA, audit evidence.\nLegacy Middleware: WebSphere, Liberty, WebLogic, BPM, Apigee/API Gateway, JVM dumps, certificates, Postman, REST/SOAP/XML/JSON/OAuth.\nBehavioural Expectations\nStrong ownership and ability to independently drive technical issues to closure.\nClear technical communication with application teams, peers, service owners, and leadership.\nAbility to guide peers, document learnings, and support cross-skilling from legacy middleware to containers.\nProcess-oriented approach to change discipline, incident response, RCA quality, audit controls, and production stability.\nSelf-driven learning across Kubernetes, AWS, automation, middleware, and API platforms.\nHiring Emphasis\nPlease prioritize genuine hands-on EKS/Kubernetes workload operations, production troubleshooting, automation, GitOps/Helm exposure, observability, and secure operational practices. Legacy middleware experience remains required as transition value, but it is not the primary hiring focus. Candidates who are only traditional middleware administrators without practical container/EKS depth should not be considered a strong fit. Likewise, candidates with Kubernetes/EKS experience but no hands-on middleware experience should not proceed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8024,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Systems Integrators","Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T10:44:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-18T06:25:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T06:25:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9495,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5484},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5484"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftech-mahindra-senior-middleware-eks-workload-engineer"}]}
