  • Production Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure experience, including Pod lifecycles, operators, CSI storage, CNI routing, AWS, or GCP.
  • Experience with cross-region disaster recovery and failover for stateful systems, including split-brain prevention and RPO/RTO decisions, is preferred.
  • Open-source contributions to Kafka connectors, PostgreSQL operators, or Go-based database libraries are preferred.
  • Experience with event-stream schema governance using Karapace or Confluent Schema Registry is preferred.
  • Familiarity with Apache Flink, Kafka Streams, SOC 2, ISO 27001, Redis, or MongoDB is preferred.
