The Role
Own Kubernetes platforms across bare-metal, private-cloud, and sovereign environments. Design reference deployments for client operations teams, build production-ready capabilities, and guide architecture, reliability, security, scalability, and continuous improvement. Operate air-gapped clusters and stateful workloads, including Kafka, Flink, Spark, and databases. Implement storage, networking, ingress, certificates, etcd recovery, policy enforcement, disaster recovery, capacity planning, high availability, and zero-downtime upgrades while collaborating across engineering, product, data, and business teams.
