• Advance high-availability concepts including distributed in-memory approaches across multiple nodes
• Implement GitOps workflows through ArgoCD and Fleet for automated deployment and Day-2 operations
• Build Infrastructure as Code using Ansible, Terraform, or comparable tools; implement Policy as Code for security and governance
• Integrate and standardize CI/CD deployment processes
• Provide platform engineering support to internal development teams, building self-service capabilities and onboarding standards
• Support development teams migrating workloads to the cloud platform

• Several years of experience in cloud or platform engineering, container technologies, or infrastructure automation

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with SUSE stack or comparable Kubernetes management platforms
