Required Qualifications
3-4 years of hands-on software engineering experience Engineering, Escalation Engineering, or a comparable production-focused role.
• Heavy hands-on Kubernetes experience — operating, debugging, and modifying Kubernetes and Kubernetes-native components (controllers, operators, CAPI, CRDs) in complex production

• Strong distributed-systems debugging skills across networking, storage, and control-plane behavior.
• Working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — able to hold technical authority in front of customers and executives.
Preferred Qualifications
•Go (Golang) development experience — building, debugging, and patching Go microservices and Kubernetes-native components.
• Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA); CKAD or CKS a plus.
• Experience with Cluster API (CAPI), controller-runtime, or writing/maintaining Kubernetes operators.
• Experience with edge, bare-metal, or virtualization platforms (VMware, KubeVirt, Hyper-V).
• Experience delivering CVE remediation and patch releases in a regulated, enterprise SaaS, or federal environment.
• Experience with MongoDB, Terraform, Ansible, or CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
• Experience using AI-assisted debugging or engineering workflows with strong validation and governance controls.
