At least 2 years of software development experience, with around 5 years preferred.
Hands-on experience writing Go for Kubernetes environments, including production-scale cluster management.
Experience with distributed storage such as Ceph or WEKA and federated, multi-cluster Kubernetes architectures.
Experience with GitOps and ArgoCD, plus infrastructure as code using Terraform, Helm, or comparable tools.
Familiarity with container networking, CNI plugins, service meshes, and observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.
Experience with cloud Kubernetes offerings, bare-metal infrastructure, or GPU workloads is useful.
Automation experience and contributions to Kubernetes or other open-source infrastructure projects are valued.
