- Strong proficiency in Go, plus working knowledge of Python.
- Hands-on experience building and operating on Kubernetes, ideally with operators/controllers (controller-runtime, Kubebuilder, CRDs)
- Proficiency with Protobuf, gRPC, REST APIs, and microservices / distributed systems.
- A security-first mindset, comfort with container hardening, image governance, and network policies.
- A growth mindset – we don’t expect you to know everything, but we expect you to be excited to learn.
Nice to have
- Experience with Helm and GitOps-style deployment.
- Familiarity with code-server / openvscode-server (Code-OSS) or self-hosted browser IDEs.
