Minimum Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cloud Computing, or a related field, or; five (5) years of equivalent experience in Kubernetes administration.
  • Demonstrated experience in deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters, troubleshooting containerized applications, and implementing service mesh architectures such as Istio or Linkerd.
