## About the Role

Deep hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes (deployment management, scaling, upgrades, troubleshooting, cluster operations) with a focus on reliability, resilience, and performance.
Working proficiency with API Gateway platforms such as Azure API Management (APIM), Kong, and IBM API Connect (APIC) for traffic management, rate limiting, routing, and API observability.
Solid experience with observability tooling, including Splunk, AppDynamics, Instana, or similar solutions covering log analytics, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerting, and SLO-based monitoring.
Ability to diagnose and resolve complex production issues, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventative measures.
Familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) best practices, including error budgets, SLIs/SLOs, incident response, postmortems, automation, and continuous improvement.
Experience with performance tuning, capacity planning, and improving system reliability through scalable architectures and elimination of toil.
As this is production support, the 2 resources should be able to support off-hour incidents, releases, and maintenance.
