1. Experience & Qualifications

Professional Experience

  • 10+ years of professional experienceย in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles, with at least:
    • 5+ years of hands-on experience with OpenShiftย or Kubernetes.
    • 5+ years of experience with Redisย (including production deployments, performance tuning, and advanced setups like clustering and Sentinel).
    • Proven expertise in deploying and managing stateful applicationsย in cloud-native environments.
    • Track record of managing high-throughput, low-latency databases in real-time distributed systems.

Production Scale Experience

  • Experience operating Redis or similar in-memory databases (e.g., Memcached, Hazelcast) and key-value stores at enterprise scaleย with:
    • Millions of queries per second.
    • Large datasets requiring optimized memory usage.
    • Reliability demands of >99.99% uptime.

2. Core Technical Skills

A. Redis & Valkey (Highly Advanced Proficiency)

  • Expert-level knowledge of Redis:
    • Master-slave replication.
    • Redis Sentinel for high availability.
    • Redis Cluster for horizontal sharding and distributed data management.
    • Memory optimization techniques for efficient handling of large datasets.
    • Ability to debug, scale, and fine-tune Redis (e.g., handling eviction policies, tuning buffer utilization, and optimizing AOF/RDB persistence mechanisms).
  • Advanced knowledge of Valkey (or similar key-value database architectures), with a focus on scalability across distributed systems.

B. Automation (Infrastructure-as-Code):

  • Infrastructure-as-code expertise with:
    • Helm charts to deploy and manage Redis/Valkey.
    • Developing and managing Operators with automation built in Ansible, Kustomize, or Terraform.
    • OpenShift-native CI/CD pipelines (Tekton/Red Hat Pipelines) for automated deployments and scaling.

C. Monitoring & Observability:

  • End-to-end monitoring of Redis and Valkey deployments with:
    • Prometheus (e.g.,ย Redis exporterย for Redis metrics).
    • Grafana dashboards for cluster state, replication lag, memory usage, and query performance.
    • Centralized logging with the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) and OpenShift native logging solutions.
  • Expertise in interpreting metrics and logs for incident response.

D. Networking and Security:

  • Advanced knowledge of securing Redis/Valkeyย in cloud environments:
    • TLS certificates for encryption in transit.
    • IP-based firewalls or OpenShiftย Network Policyย for endpoint restrictions.
    • External Secrets or OpenShift secrets for managing authentication credentials.
  • Expertise in debugging ingress, load balancing, and network latency issues.

3. Soft Skills

As a highly senior engineer, the individual is expected to bring advanced leadership and team collaboration skills:

  • Technical Leadership:
    • Mentor developers, DevOps engineers, and platform teams on Kubernetes/OpenShift setups and database best practices.
    • Own technical decisions around critical Redis/Valkey architecture, ensuring scalability and uptime.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Strong ability to coordinate with product teams, infrastructure architects, and security teams.
    • Prepare detailed technical design documents and present system architectures.
  • Ownership and Problem Solving:
    • Take end-to-end accountability for Redis/Valkey in production environments.
    • Anticipate issues and proactively build systems to mitigate risks.

Challenges They Should Be Capable of Handling

  1. Migrating Redis or Valkey deployments to OpenShift.
  2. Zero-downtime upgrades for Redis clusters.
  3. Guaranteeing max performance at peak loads (e.g., 1M+, high-throughput workloads).
  4. Developing automated scaling and healing mechanisms for Redis on OpenShift.
