Lead or significantly contribute to production deployments, upgrades, incident resolution, and operational support for Kubernetes/EKS-based platforms. Demonstrated experience deploying and troubleshooting distributed applications using Docker, ECS, Kubernetes, or EKS, including service discovery, ingress/load balancing, network policies, and logging/monitoring integration. Experience with GitOps or CI/CD-driven deployment patterns, including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Harness, Argo CD, Flux, or similar tooling. Preferred certification: Certified Kubernetes Administrator, Certified Kubernetes Application Developer, or equivalent hands-on container platform experience. Senior ownership, leadership, and communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain technical risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to engineers, product teams, and leadership. Candidate must be able to take ownership of ambiguous production issues, mentor junior/mid-level engineers, improve operational standards, and produce clear runbooks, design notes, and support documentation. Operational maturity and production readiness: Strong candidates should demonstrate experience with observability, incident response, change management, security hardening, automation, disaster recovery awareness, and continuous improvement of platform reliability, scalability, performance, and cost efficiency.
