  • Solid experience with Kubernetes and scripting/automation tools like Ansible.
  • A strong understanding of networking concepts.
  • Knowledge of BGP, Cilium, or Calico is a significant plus.
  • An enthusiastic, collaborative, and team-oriented mindset with a genuine passion for learning and sharing knowledge.
  • The ability to work autonomously and get started right away.

Nice to Have
