Advanced Kubernetes operational experience: debugging, resource management, networking policies, and workload failure modes. Experience with AI-assisted tooling and development.
Experience diagnosing and resolving workflow orchestration issues, batch processing failures, scheduler performance problems, and building observability on data pipeline : Apache Airflow and Tidal.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience owning Production Readiness Reviews or service launch gates.
