- Provision and manage infrastructure using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) with a strong automation-first mindset.

- Deploy, scale, and troubleshoot applications running on Kubernetes, including cluster creation, upgrades, and lifecycle management.

- Build and maintain automation frameworks and tooling (Python-based) to reduce operational toil and prevent recurring incidents.

- Monitor system health using metrics, logs, and alerts; continuously tune alerts, dashboards, and runbooks.

- Troubleshoot complex issues spanning clusters, networking, certificates, deployments, and application behavior.

- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (VPCs, routing, DNS, load balancing, security groups).

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, deployment tools, and infrastructure automation.

- Working knowledge of databases and query optimization, and understanding how applications behave under load.

- Familiarity with similar tools like Kafka or other messaging systems.

- Comfortable conducting code reviews and participating in coding-focused interviews.

- Strong operational mindset with experience in incident management and on-call rotations.

- Clear communicator and collaborative teammate who values documentation and knowledge sharing.
