  • Experience supporting Kubernetes networking, including Services, Ingress, network policies, load balancing, DNS, and CNI technologies.
  • Experience designing and troubleshooting networks for containerized or microservices-based applications.
  • Experience with network automation and Infrastructure as Code using Python, Ansible, or Terraform.
  • Experience operating production Kubernetes clusters and creating technical documentation, system diagrams, and SOPs.
