- Cost optimization
- Implement and support observability solutions, including:
- Metrics (Prometheus, Grafana)
- Logging (ELK / OpenSearch)
- Distributed tracing
- Work with service mesh and API gateway technologies (e.g., Istio, Linkerd).
- Participate in Agile delivery using Scrum or Kanban.
- Collaborate across teams to resolve technical blockers and reduce platform risk.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to platform design decisions and best practices.
Secondary Requirements (Java / Spring Boot – Important)

- Strong understanding of:

Nice to Have (Event Streaming)
- Experience with Apache Kafka, including:
- Topic and consumer group design
- Offset management
- Schema evolution (Avro or Protobuf)
- Familiarity operating Kafka on Kubernetes (e.g., Strimzi or enterprise distributions).
- Exposure to stream processing frameworks such as Kafka Streams, Apache Flink, or Spark Structured Streaming.
Experience Requirements:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating production Kubernetes environments.
- 2+ years supporting workloads on a public cloud platform.
- Proven experience building enterprise-scale DevOps or platform engineering solutions.
- Strong technical design, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.
