## What they're looking for

- 12+ years of hands-on software and infrastructure engineering experience, including 5+ years leading teams and managing managers
- Deep, production-grade experience with Kubernetes at scale — multi-cluster and multi-tenant operations, upgrade strategy, workload isolation, autoscaling, and the failure modes you only learn about the hard way
- Experience operating across more than one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and a clear point of view on where multi-cloud pays for itself and where it doesn't
- Strong background in infrastructure-as-code and declarative operations (Terraform, Helm, GitOps tooling such as Argo CD or Flux)
- Track record building highly available, secure distributed systems and the observability to run them (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting that people actually trust)
- Experience with service networking and service mesh technologies, and with securing traffic and identity across cloud boundaries
