- Work with Kubernetes manifests and operators for deploying and managing containerized workloads. Be well-versed in core Kubernetes resources such as ingresses, pods, secrets, and configmaps. Collaborate with DevOps teams to ensure smooth container orchestration and cloud-native adoption.
- Develop efficient and secure APIs, proactively keeping them secure based on the latest industry security vulnerability reports and ensure their integration within the ecosystem.
- Create and modify existing pipelines, including Azure Pipelines and GitOps processes, to support continuous integration and deployment.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including colleagues across Europe, India, and the United States, as well as vendors, to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
- Conduct code reviews and provide technical guidance to other team members.
