Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineer

Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineer

Insight Global is looking for a Kubernetes Infrastructure Engineer to join one of our global manufacturing and supplier clients. Responsibilities of this role will center around replacing legacy Synology NAS systems with a robust, redundant Kubernetes-based infrastructure across multiple production lines. You'll provision and manage clustered compute nodes using tools like Ansible and Terraform, orchestrated via K3s on Rocky Linux. These nodes will handle critical networking services (DNS, DHCP, NTP), host containerized applications, and support monitoring (Elastic Stack), VM hosting (via KubeVirt), and edge AI/ML workloads (via Kubeflow). You'll also design and deploy CEPH-based storage solutions—using Rook for edge nodes and evaluating options for central clusters—to ensure reliable data storage and forwarding to a centralized system with cloud backup integration. Collaboration, documentation, and demonstration of virtual cluster functionality will be key parts of your workflow.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
