- Strong Linux fundamentals and hands-on production troubleshooting, with knowledge of DNS, routing, load balancing, connectivity, and cloud/Kubernetes networking.
- Production experience with at least one major cloud platform, such as AWS, GCP, or Alicloud, and infrastructure-as-code experience using Terraform or equivalent.
- Experience with configuration management and automation technologies such as Ansible, Puppet, or similar platforms.
- Observability experience using metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerting platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or Datadog.

Responsibilities
- Design, build, operate, and improve production Kubernetes platforms, including cluster architecture, networking, workload isolation, resource management, security, upgrades, scaling, and reliability.
- Troubleshoot Kubernetes and infrastructure issues involving CNI, networking, scheduling, nodes, resource constraints, controllers, and cluster-level failures.
- Operate highly available infrastructure across cloud, hybrid, virtualized, and bare-metal environments.
- Develop production tooling and automation using Go, Python, or Java, and build internal services, APIs, integrations, and operational tools as needed.
- Lead or contribute significantly to incident response, root-cause analysis, durable remediation, and disaster recovery.
- Define and improve SLOs, SLIs, alerting, and operational processes using logs, metrics, traces, profiling, and system diagnostics.
- Build and maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform or equivalent technologies, and improve CI/CD and deployment workflows.
- Participate in cloud and infrastructure migrations, including dependency analysis, cutover planning, rollback strategies, and production validation.
- Work with customers, engineers, and technical stakeholders to investigate issues, communicate trade-offs, and drive technical solutions.
