A cloud and DevOps employer in Gandhi Nagar, Vijayawada, is hiring a part-time, on-site Kubernetes Engineer paid up to ₹60,000 a month.
What the role covers
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that move code from commit to deployment reliably
- Automate infrastructure provisioning so environments can be stood up consistently rather than by hand
- Troubleshoot issues across both development and production environments, tracing problems back to their root cause
Production troubleshooting on a Kubernetes setup rarely stays contained to one layer. A pod that keeps restarting might trace back to a resource limit set too tight, or a misconfigured liveness probe that kills a perfectly healthy process. Working through that kind of ambiguity, methodically and without guessing, is a real part of the job.
Requirements
A bachelor's degree is expected, with computer science or IT being common, though the team weighs demonstrated infrastructure experience heavily alongside it. 42 months of hands-on work with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and deployment automation is the baseline here. That's a specific combination, not just general software experience, so candidates should have genuinely worked across all three areas rather than one in isolation.
Core skills
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- Helm
- Container orchestration more broadly
- Linux
Skills that strengthen an application
Experience with a managed Kubernetes service such as AWS EKS, GKE, or AKS is a solid plus, since much real-world work now runs on one of those rather than a self-managed cluster. Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool helps keep provisioning consistent and auditable. Familiarity with monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana matters too, since knowing something's broken before a user reports it is a meaningful part of running production infrastructure well. A CKA certification isn't required, but Naukri Mitra sees it often among strong applicants for Kubernetes roles, so it's worth mentioning if you have it.
Schedule, pay, and location
This is a part-time, on-site position in Gandhi Nagar, Vijayawada, paying up to ₹60,000 a month. This listing has no remote arrangement. Given the part-time structure, hours have some built-in flexibility, though production issues don't always respect a set schedule, so being reachable outside planned hours comes with the territory.
Benefits
- Pro-rated paid leave
- Flexible in-office scheduling
- Performance-based incentives
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Vijayawada
- Accommodation support during the transition
The flexible scheduling tends to suit candidates balancing this role against another commitment, whether that's a second contract or simply a preference for fewer fixed hours.
How to apply
A resume paired with details of a Kubernetes environment you've actually run, not just deployed once and walked away from, will carry the most weight here. Mention any incidents you've handled and how you resolved them. Shortlisted candidates should expect a technical conversation centered on cluster troubleshooting.
