## About the role

We expect every project44 team member, regardless of role or function, to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work. Whether you're building product, serving customers, managing people, or running operations, AI is a tool you're expected to use with intent, curiosity, and judgment. We don't expect everyone to be a data scientist. We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly.

## What they're looking for

- Kubernetes administration and operations at scale (GKE strongly preferred), including cluster networking, autoscaling, workload isolation, and upgrade management
- Kafka operations and architecture, including topic design, consumer group management, broker configuration, and integration with streaming workloads (Strimzi experience a plus)
- Infrastructure-as-code using Terraform—module design, state management, CI-driven plan/apply workflows, and drift detection
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP) across core services: GKE, GCS, Cloud NAT, VPC networking, IAM, Artifact Registry, and related managed services
- Cloud observability tooling and practices—building meaningful dashboards, alerts, SLI/SLO frameworks, and runbooks regardless of the tool stack
- Cloud networking fundamentals: VPCs, subnetting, private connectivity, DNS, load balancing, and security group/firewall design
