AWS DevOps Administrator

Project overview

This contract role administers AWS infrastructure and supports application delivery on Amazon EKS, covering cluster operations, Kubernetes deployments, and platform troubleshooting. The core skills are AWS and EKS/Kubernetes administration, Docker and Helm, Argo CD GitOps, Jenkins CI/CD, Terraform, scripting, monitoring, networking, and security. The description also calls for hands-on use of Git, CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana; it does not identify any separate preferred skills. The structured experience range is 2–4 years, and the location is Pune; work mode is not specified.

The title and responsibilities are aligned, though the breadth of platform responsibilities may be substantial for the stated experience range.
