- Collaborate with development teams by offering guidance throughout the development and deployment phases, reviewing and modifying code within GitHub repositories to ensure smooth integration and fully automated deployment processes.
- Provide on-call production support, troubleshoot, and resolve complex issues related to AKS and container orchestration, ensuring quick resolution and minimal downtime.
- Optimize cluster performance, scalability, and security to meet evolving requirements and resolve technical challenges.
- Monitor and manage Kubernetes resources using observability tools (Grafana, SolarWinds, Dynatrace, Datadog, New Relic, etc.) to proactively identify and resolve issues.
- Troubleshoot and address malfunctioning or underperforming applications, ensuring root causes are identified and long-term solutions are implemented.
- Serve as a thought leader in Kubernetes, driving the platform strategy, advocating for best practices, and fostering continuous improvement and innovation.

- Deep knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), including Helm for managing Kubernetes applications.
- Proven experience in designing, implementing, and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Flux CD.
- Proficient in reading, understanding, and modifying code in GitHub, supporting development teams, and ensuring smooth integration with Kubernetes platforms.
- Expertise in security best practices within Kubernetes environments, ensuring secure and compliant deployments.
- Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tools, including the Grafana stack (Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo), for creating dashboards and alerts.
- Practical experience with Kuma/Kong Mesh service mesh technologies.
- Hands-on experience managing Kong API gateways.
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and strong communication abilities, capable of leading troubleshooting sessions and guiding cross-functional teams.
