- Deep Kubernetes experience, including container orchestration and cloud-native development
- Strong Linux knowledge and confidence troubleshooting complex technical issues
- A track record of delivering complex technical solutions and improving engineering quality
- Clear communication, mentoring and teamwork skills, with English at C1 level
