• Architect multi-cluster, multi-region GitOps delivery with ArgoCD or Flux, including automated canary analysis, traffic shadowing and automated rollbacks
• Build closed-loop remediation and AIOps pipelines using OpenTelemetry, anomaly correlation and workflow/orchestration engines (Temporal, Kubernetes Operators in Go)
• Implement policy as code and software supply chain security with Kyverno or OPA, SAST/SCA gates, cosign and SBOMs
• Define SLO/SLI governance, error budgets and automated chaos testing for distributed services
• Establish standards for IaC, CI/CD and telemetry, and drive them through cross-team RFCs and architecture reviews

Nice to have

• Integration of ITSM/CMDB platforms (iTop or similar) into automated incident workflows
• Experience integrating LLM tool-calling, agentic triage or RAG-based runbook retrieval into incident response
• AI inference infrastructure (Ray, vLLM, Triton, Kubeflow)
• Contributions to CNCF/open-source projects
