• Deep understanding of cluster internals: CNI/DNS/ingress, PV/PVC storage, RBAC, and failure modes (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, scheduling/eviction)

• Experience authoring and reviewing manifests / Helm charts and debugging live cluster incidents

• Proficiency in Go, Python, or TypeScript

Preferred Qualifications

• CKA / CKAD certification
