DevOps for a microservice project

We need a DevOps engineer to provision and wire up the full infrastructure. The stack is Kubernetes-based: you'll deploy and configure MySQL, Redis, Redpanda/Kafka, HashiCorp Vault, and a Harbor image registry, then bring the services online — adapting Dockerfiles, preparing/adjusting the Helm chart, and integrating Docker build & push into GitLab CI pipelines (including pulling secrets from Vault). You'll also set up the runtime essentials: horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA), an ingress/API-gateway load balancer for the microservices, and per-service config/secrets for DB, message bus, and endpoints. Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, GitLab CI, and Vault is required; familiarity with crypto infrastructure and secure key handling is a strong plus. Please share relevant past projects and your availability.
