• Design multi-cluster, namespace, tenancy, and autoscaling strategies
• Establish observability, monitoring, logging, and security standards
• Recommend portable alternatives to AWS-native services
• Develop architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and reusable reference architectures
• Collaborate with cloud architects, DevOps architects, and customer engineering teams
Requirements
• 5+ years of hands-on Kubernetes experience in production environments
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes architecture, networking, storage, security, and scaling
• Experience with OpenShift, Tanzu, Rancher, or similar container platforms
• Experience designing on-premises/private-cloud Kubernetes platforms
• Strong knowledge of Linux, DNS, load balancing, certificates, and infrastructure security
• Understanding of AWS-native services and cloud portability
• Experience with service meshes, ingress controllers, secrets management, and observability tools
• Strong platform architecture and reference architecture documentation skills
