  • Stay current with emerging security threats and best practices related to Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies.

Required Skills:

  • 3+ years of experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including GKE.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration.
  • Experience with microservices architectures, including designing APIs and implementing service meshes for improved scalability and security.
  • Proficiency in developing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Jenkins.
  • Expertise with IaC tools such as Terraform.
  • Programming and scripting skills in Python, Go, Bash, Java, or NodeJS.
  • Familiarity with Cloud CLIs, SDKs, and REST APIs.
  • Strong understanding of network security principles, encryption protocols, and identity management concepts.
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes resource types, such as Cluster Roles, Services, and Deployments.
  • Experience developing Helm charts.
  • Experience implementing Kubernetes technologies such as Network Policies, Service Mesh, Certificate Manager, and Ingress Controllers.
  • Familiarity with compliance tools such as Google Org Policy, Aquasec, or Wiz.
  • Knowledge of monitoring tools such as Datadog, Grafana, or Prometheus.
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of operating systems, including RHEL and Ubuntu.
  • Understanding of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for managing certificates in cloud environments.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills to collaborate with developers, engineers, and security teams effectively.
