Azure Terraform Specialist with Kubernetes exp.  

Looking for candidates who has specifically done 'Manual-to-IaC' migrations and can write complex Azure modules from scratch. 

Candidates who can write terraform code will be a success”.



Requirements

1. Non-Negotiable: AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service)

  • Depth Required: Must have managed production clusters (not just learning environments).
  • Specific Skills: Experience with Azure CNI, HPA/VPA, Ingress Controllers (Nginx/AGIC), and Node Pool lifecycle management.
  • The Test: They must be able to explain how they handle a "Pod Pending" state or an "ImagePullBackOff" in a locked-down enterprise network.

2. Tooling Priority: Flux CD & Helm

  • GitOps: We need Flux CD experience. If they only know "Push" pipelines (Jenkins/ADO), they are a secondary fit. We want someone who understands automated reconciliation loops.
  • Helm: Must be able to author and troubleshoot Helm charts, not just run helm install.

3. Observability: Dynatrace

  • Requirement: Hands-on with Dynatrace.
  • Competency: Setting up Service Level Objectives (SLOs), Management Zones, and using Davis AI for root cause analysis. (Generic Prometheus/Grafana knowledge is good but Dynatrace is the target).

4. Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

  • Level: Advanced. Must be comfortable with Terraform State management, importing manual resources into code, and building reusable modules.

5. The "Anti-Profile" (What we DO NOT want):

  • AWS Specialists: Do not send candidates whose primary experience is EKS/AWS with only "basic" Azure exposure.
  • Theoretical/Reading Candidates: We will immediately reject anyone who appears to be reading from a screen or providing textbook definitions during the L1.

 

 

Mandatory Skills: Azure AKS Admin.
