## Description

Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers and edge locations.

 - Build and maintain the networking that connects and isolates our edge infrastructure, including VPNs, routing, network policies, and firewalls.
 - Own infrastructure automation for cluster provisioning, configuration, upgrades, and recovery.
 - Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform/OpenTofu and configuration management tools such as Ansible.
 - Build and operate secure runtime environments for customer workloads, including containers, microVMs, and ephemeral sandboxed workloads.
 - Improve cluster reliability, observability, and capacity as the platform grows across providers and regions.
 - Build out Prometheus metrics and alerting for infrastructure and platform observability.
 - Harden workload and network isolation, and help define security boundaries for running untrusted customer code.
 - Participate in on-call and troubleshoot problems across Linux, containers, Kubernetes, networking, and cloud infrastructure.
