This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor and play a critical role in building and shaping the operational success of a brand-new system.

You will be responsible for the stability, performance, and reliability of our on-premise application platform infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem-solver who thrives on deep technical challenges and has moved beyond routine checks to expert-level troubleshooting and administration.

What You Will Do

• Perform administrative-level tasks and manage the full lifecycle of on-premise Kubernetes clusters, ensuring high availability and robust security.
• Write and modify complex Ansible scripts from scratch to automate configuration, deployment, and operational tasks across the environment.
• Proactively monitor service performance using tools like Dynatrace and conduct in-depth troubleshooting of complex incidents, collaborating with technical teams on root cause analysis (RCA).
• Manage day-to-day service operations, coordinating with teams and vendors to ensure strict adherence to customer SLAs.
• Work extensively with core technologies, including IBM MQ and Forgerock, which are crucial for daily operations.
• Deploy system changes, develop operational procedures, and ensure documentation is kept up-to-date.
• Work within a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and VMware environment, performing necessary system administration tasks

What You Must Bring (Mandatory Requirements)

• Kubernetes Expertise (Administrative Level): Demonstrable, strong, hands-on experience in managing and operating Kubernetes clusters, preferably on-premise, with skills extending to cluster administration, networking, and security.
• Ansible Scripting (Development Focus): A minimum of 3-4 years of deep experience where you write and develop new scripts and playbooks rather than just performing basic configuration.
• Crucial Application Experience: Hands-on operational experience with IBM MQ and Forgerock.
• Operational Depth & Systems: Proven experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 7/8), virtualization (VMware ESXi/vSphere), and complex incident troubleshooting.
• Customer-Facing Experience: A minimum of 3-5 years in an application/system support domain, with experience dealing directly with internal/ external customers and delivering to SLAs.

What Will Make You Stand Out (Nice-to-Have Skills)

• Experience with advanced monitoring and logging tools, specifically Dynatrace and Elasticsearch/Kibana.
• Relevant certifications, such as CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), RHCSA/RHCE, or Ansible scripting certifications.
• Scripting knowledge in Python, Shell, or Perl.
• Familiarity with other container technologies like Docker.
• Experience in the airline or air transport industry (ATI) know-how.

What Our Client Offer

• A competitive salary package of up to RM 12,000 per month.
• The opportunity to be a founding member of a new, high-impact operations team.
• A supportive and collaborative team culture that values problem-solving and knowledge sharing.
• Investment in your professional growth with access to both on-the-job and formal external training.
• Standard working hours (9:00 AM - 6:00 PM) with a rotational on-call standby duty for escalations
