• Enjoy automating developer pain away by developing a robust compute infrastructure
• Approach all engineering work with a performance lens and make it easy for teams to identify performance bottlenecks
• Find joy and pride in coaching and mentoring mid to early career software engineers
• Look for opportunities to share what you've learned with the broader engineering organization

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience managing TLS certificates, including automated renewal and Kubernetes integration
• Hands-on experience deploying Kubernetes applications using Helm
• Strong understanding of networking concepts: DNS, load balancing, ingress controllers, firewalls, VPN
