What you will be doing:

Kubernetes Engineering & Automation

You don't just write Helm charts or YAML manifests; you extend the Kubernetes API.

- Custom Operators: Proven ability to write Kubernetes Operators (using Kubebuilder or Operator SDK) to manage complex, stateful application lifecycles.
- Control Plane Logic: Deep understanding of reconciliation loops, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and how to automate operational knowledge into code.
Scalable Microservices & Distributed Systems

You build for high concurrency, low latency, and eventual consistency.

- High-Scale SaaS: 6+ years of experience building and operating production-grade SaaS products. You have first-hand experience with the "death by a thousand cuts" that comes with scaling to millions of requests.
- Systems Programming: Advanced proficiency in Go or JVM-based languages, with a focus on writing memory-efficient and thread-safe code.
Deep-Tier Cloud Storage & Persistence

You understand the physics of data.

- Storage Internals: We need more than S3 API knowledge. You should understand the performance characteristics, limitations, and cost-drivers of S3, NFS, and enterprise storage like NetApp OnTap or AWS FSx.
- Data Locality: Experience managing data persistence across hybrid environments (Public Cloud vs. Private DC).
Operational Maturity (The "SRE" DNA)

You believe that "if it isn't monitored, it doesn't exist."

- Instrumentation: Expert-level experience with OpenTelemetry. You don't just look at metrics; you design the telemetry that allows for deep-dive distributed tracing and root-cause analysis.
- Observability Infrastructure: Hands-on experience scaling Prometheus and Grafana to handle high-cardinality data.
