## Description

You will own Helm charts, containers, IaC, and CI/CD for multi-cloud SaaS-not a ticket-only ops seat. Python/Go/TypeScript APIs, Kubernetes/OpenShift, AWS CDK/Lambda/ECS, and Terraform are in scope.
What You'll Do:

 * Develop and maintain cloud-native REST APIs in Python, Go, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
 * Build and harden Docker images (security, cost, deployability).
 * Author and version Helm charts for Kubernetes/OpenShift (values, upgrades, rollback).
 * Build and improve CI/CD (deploy, test, monitor, roll back).
 * Monitor performance and scale; fix bottlenecks (caching, concurrency, HPA, resource limits).
 * Build serverless SaaS pieces with AWS CDK, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate.
 * Use readiness/liveness probes, resource requests/limits, and namespace isolation.
 * Manage in-cluster PostgreSQL, Kafka, Grafana, and Elasticsearch via Helm or Operators.
 * Partner with security and infrastructure on logging, monitoring, and audit.
 * Troubleshoot prod/staging; document architecture and deploy procedures.
