Are you passionate about Kubernetes, automation, and building platforms that power real-world impact?

• Develop internal tools and services using C# to streamline platform operations
• Build and maintain infrastructure automation using tools like Terraform, Ansible, bash, and PowerShell

• Scripting languages (PowerShell, Bash)
• YAML-based CI/CD pipeline development
• Azure DevOps platform and toolchain
• Nvidia GPU management in Kubernetes envrionments
• Microsoft SQL
• HTML, JavaScript and /or TypeScript

Preferred Experience:

• Azure Kubernetes Service management
• Azure Arc for hybrid cloud management
• Virtualization technologies (vSphere or similar)
