Requirements

13+ years in software, infrastructure, or platform engineering, including 5+ years of hands-on production Kubernetes on AWS - EKS architecture, operations, networking, upgrades, scaling, and incident troubleshooting.
A proven track record of standing up EKS platforms end to end and containerizing existing API workloads onto them at enterprise scale.
Strong IaC and Kubernetes configuration skills (Terraform, Helm, Kustomize) and reusable platform-module design, with defensible architecture decisions and cross-team leadership in a regulated environment.
Production service mesh ownership - Istio architecture, policy, rollout, performance, troubleshooting; Ambient mode especially relevant.
Deep GitOps experience with continuous reconciliation, drift management, and environment promotion; able to implement the target model in Flux.
Practical Kubernetes and AWS security: PSS, policy as code, NetworkPolicy, IAM, Pod Identity, KMS, certificate management, image signing, SBOMs.
API gateway and regulated audit/event-ingestion design; able to own a self-managed gateway (direct Tyk experience strongly preferred).
Working knowledge of gRPC, HTTP/2, and Protobuf, plus enough Java 21 / Spring Boot familiarity to review the reference runtime pattern.
Observability depth across metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, and rollout analysis with OpenTelemetry; performance validation at tens of thousands of TPS.
