Job Description:-

Keys

  • Kubernetes, Grafana, will check on the security side
  • .Net/C# doesn't need to be there main ability
  • Have to have the knowledge of coding, but not a Sr resource here
  • OVERVIEW FROM THE MANAGER
    • Going through a modernization project, their apps iTom mainly needs to be modernized and change the architecture drastically
      • Data they gather is highly sensitive data
        • All customers really ask security based questions
    • Have to deploy in a different way-- how it's currently done is antiquated, moving into being able to deploy different microservices in Kubernetes, have to do this with iTom
    • Platforms are still being developed so right now a lot of the work comes because of this, still in the beginning of the process of modernizing the platform
    • Going to have to deploy at the Edge
    • Portions of iCloud will have to deploy at the Cloud
      • This is why it's more DevSecOps focused
    • Security and DevOps would be the a nice to have
      • Knowledge within Security is helpful
    • Main responsibilities:
      • Deployment with the new microservices, pipelines, sound charts, troubleshooting
      • Grafana, they will have to work with
    • Not modern yet
      • There will be a portion of the work that is going to be legacy work, like 2018
      • Fortran is the oldest that they're aware of here, along with some other legacy work
      • 25% of the job is going to be supporting the legacy application
        • Overtime, expectation this time will keep shrinking because moving to new platform
Interview Process

  • One-round interview - could be face to face

Role Overview

The team is in the early stages of a major application modernization initiative, with iTom being the largest and most critical application undergoing transformation.

  • iTom's current architecture and deployment model are antiquated and need to be significantly modernized.
  • The application handles highly sensitive data, so security is an important consideration throughout the modernization effort.
  • The new environment will move toward microservices deployed through Kubernetes.
  • Deployment will span both Edge and Cloud environments, making this a fairly strong DevSecOps-focused role.
  • iTom is used across most, if not all, of their rigs, so this is a business-critical modernization initiative.
  • This work will ultimately serve as a blueprint for modernizing smaller applications across the organization.

What This Person Will Be Doing

Primary responsibilities will include:

  • Deploying new microservices within Kubernetes
  • Building/supporting deployment pipelines
  • Working with Helm charts (assuming "sound charts" in the notes was intended to be Helm charts)
  • Troubleshooting deployments and platform issues
  • Working with Grafana and observability/monitoring tooling
  • Supporting deployments across Edge and Cloud environments
  • Incorporating security into the deployment and DevOps process
  • Supporting portions of the existing legacy application while the modernization is underway

Legacy vs. Modern Work

This is not a 100% greenfield/modern environment yet.

  • Approximately 25% of the role will initially involve supporting the legacy application.
  • Some technologies are older, with Fortran being one of the oldest mentioned.
  • The expectation is that the amount of legacy support will continue to decrease as iTom moves to the new platform.
  • The majority of the opportunity is centered around the modernization effort and new deployment architecture.

Key Technical Skills

Must-Haves / Top Priorities
