  • Deep production Kubernetes experience across multiple clusters, including upgrades, debugging, day-to-day operational ownership, and packaging and deploying workloads with Helm.
  • Strong Infrastructure-as-Code skills with Terraform, structuring codebases across multiple environments, with GitOps as a first principle and least-privilege as a default mindset.
