  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes networking, runtime security, and RBAC configurations for secure and efficient operations.
  • Strong skills in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and hands-on development experience with Go or Python.
  • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines and working with version control systems like GitHub.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field and 7+ years of IT systems administration, focusing on Kubernetes and container orchestration.
