• Core Kubernetes Expertise: Proven, deep experience handling on-premises Kubernetes deployments alongside cloud variants (AWS/Azure).
• Data Infrastructure Familiarity: Direct experience supporting infrastructure for real-time data platforms, event-driven architectures, microservices orchestration, and ETL pipelines.
• Automation & Scripting: Strong proficiency in Bash, Python, or Golang for systems automation.
• Networking Foundations: Solid understanding of core networking, distributed storage systems, firewalls, and security topologies for hybrid cloud models.
• Good to Have: * Hands-on experience with Data Lake/Warehouse platforms (HDFS, S3-compatible object storage).
  
• Exposure to MLOps or data science workflows.
• Certifications in Kubernetes, cloud platforms, or security are a plus.
