What We Need

Oivan is looking for an Intermediate Kubernetes Engineer to join our team in Dubai.

  • Assist with planned Kubernetes, RKE2 and Rancher upgrades, and with etcd snapshots and Rancher backup and restore
  • Monitor platforms using Rancher Monitoring (Prometheus and Grafana) and logging, and respond to alerts and incidents
  • Apply security baselines such as the RKE2 CIS profile, Pod Security Admission and network policies
  • Deliver knowledge transfer, hands-on walkthroughs and technical guidance to customer and internal teams on Rancher usage and operations
  • Create and maintain runbooks, operational procedures and platform documentation
  • Work closely with customer stakeholders and the wider Oivan and SUSE teams
