  • Solid experience designing, deploying, and managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
  • Strong understanding of containerization concepts and technologies including Docker and container runtimes.
  • Proficiency in deploying and managing applications using Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts.
  • Knowledge of networking concepts and experience configuring Service Mesh, Load Balancers, and Ingress Controllers.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and tools such as Jenkins or GitLab CI for building and deploying containerized applications.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in Kubernetes environments.
