Tier-1 employer and metro location increase competition, though Kubernetes specialization narrows the applicant pool.
Highly specialized cloud/Kubernetes and hyperscaler expertise limits cross-industry transferability.
Explicit 8+ years plus mandatory Kubernetes, Go, and hyperscaler experience make the hiring filters stringent.

Design and deliver major Kubernetes platform subsystems (e.g., secrets, certificate management, workload identity, storage, cluster networking) from concept to production.
Develop and maintain production-quality software including operators, controllers, infrastructure automation, and platform services with responsibility for operability (SLOs, failure modes, upgrades, on-call).
Collaborate on distributed workload architecture and secure platform design under compliance regimes like FedRAMP; mentor junior engineers and align with wider platform architecture.
8+ years of experience building production software, including operating distributed systems at scale.
Strong proficiency in Go with demonstrated production Kubernetes controller/operator development and operation.
Hands-on experience with at least one major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including compute, networking, and IAM relevant to Kubernetes cluster design.
Experience owning complex Kubernetes platform components end to end through design, deployment, real incidents, and upgrades.
Experienced in designing and operating Kubernetes platforms specifically at significant scale and in regulated environments.
Skilled in infrastructure-as-code, GitOps-based delivery, and container orchestration with an ability to integrate AI-powered tooling or workflows into platform operations.
Familiar with container networking, service mesh, observability (metrics, tracing, SLOs), and declarative infrastructure tooling (e.g., Terraform, Crossplane).
