Experience managing containers and container orchestration in production environments

Strong problem-solving skills and demonstrated ability to handle on-call escalations

Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd)

Familiarity with GitOps workflows and tools (ArgoCD, Flux)

Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, New Relic)

Knowledge of security best practices for Kubernetes and AWS (pod security policies, network policies, SIEM integration)

Demonstrated comfort using Claude.ai or similar AI tools to enhance productivity and accelerate problem-solving

Experience with cost optimization and capacity planning in AWS

Involvement in on-call rotations and incident response experience

What you'll work with:

AWS services: EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, ALB/NLB, Route 53, CloudWatch

Infrastructure tools: Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm
