You have designed modules others depend on, managed state at scale, and led non-trivial migrations without downtime. •Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and GitHub Actions (or comparable systems), including build performance, artifact management, and safe deployment patterns. •Strong Kubernetes expertise. You have operated production clusters at scale, understand the control plane and networking model in depth, and have designed workload, upgrade, and multi-tenant strategies that others rely on. •Applied hands-on capability in a service mesh in production, ideally Istio.
