Monitor platform health using Prometheus, Grafana, and Kubernetes Events.
Enforce network policies, RBAC, secrets management, and container security best practices.
Optimize Kubernetes performance on constrained hardware and air-gapped systems.
Troubleshoot container runtimes, DNS resolution, and overlay networking (e.g., Calico, Flannel).
Your skills and experience
5+ years of experience managing Kubernetes platform components and lifecycle operations.
Proficiency with Helm charts and Argo CD for application and platform deployment.
Strong skills in Go, Bash scripting, YAML/JSON configuration, and REST API development.
