• Expert-level Kubernetes operations: Helm chart authoring, Kustomize, admission webhooks, HPA, cluster upgrades, multi-tenancy patterns.

• Experience with service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) traffic shaping and observability.

• Container runtime security (Falco, Snyk) and registry management.

• Proficiency in at least two programming languages (Python, Go, Bash) for tooling, automation, and custom operators/controllers.

• Experience writing Kubernetes operators or CRDs is a strong plus.

• Production experience with Prometheus + manager + Thanos/Cortex, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry Collector, Jaeger, or Tempo.
