• Familiarity with networking, CNI plugins, and core Linux troubleshooting

• Strong infrastructure-as-code mindset - Helm, Terraform, Ansible

• Solid experience with monitoring and logging tools - Prometheus, Grafana, Loki

• Understanding of secure infrastructure design principles and least-privilege access

Preferred Experience
