Nice to haves:

• Infrastructure Management and Monitoring A nice to have would be someone who has done some infrastructure management (Persistent Volumes, RAID configurations, SAN/NAS). While not required, the def shows they have experience with on-prem deployments
• CI/CD Automation - Argo CD (What we use), Jenkins (What our developers use) and Gitlab. Cloud-focused Dev-Ops would also have this experience.
• Infrastructure as Code You will see a ton of Terraform as this is used with cloud providers. Ansible would be more relevant for our infrastructure.

The Kubernetes DevOps Engineer plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency, scalability, and reliability of software delivery pipelines and containerized applications.
