Requirements - Production experience operating Kubernetes, including AKS, k3s, or RKE2, across cloud and bare-metal environments - Strong Infrastructure as Code skills for managing multi-tenant deployments - Deep understanding of network architecture, identity federation, and security boundary design - Comfort owning systems end to end in a small, high-autonomy team - Ability to participate in formal customer security reviews and respond to detailed audit feedback
