  • Strong knowledge and several years of experience using the Linux operating system, container technologies, and specifically Kubernetes.
  • You have experience with Infrastructure as Code (preferably Terraform), CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions), and using Helm Charts.

  • Experience operating and troubleshooting highly available and distributed production environments, including monitoring, alerting, and log analysis of distributed applications (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, FluentD, ELK, VictoriaMetrics, Icinga).
  • You have a proactive, solution-oriented, independent way of working, and the ability to systematically analyze and sustainably solve complex technical problems.
