Technical Competencies
- Infrastructure Mastery:
- Design and operate Kubernetes clusters in hybrid cloud/on-premise environments
- Manage PostgreSQL databases at scale with replication, backup, and performance optimization
- Implement and maintain Redis and Elasticsearch clusters for high-availability scenarios
- Automation & DevOps:
- Develop automated workflows that enable engineers to move faster while ensuring everything is secure.
- Build Infrastructure as Code using Terraform/Ansible
- Implement GitOps workflows with ArgoCD for continuous delivery
- Create monitoring and observability solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
- System Reliability:
- Design fault-tolerant architectures across cloud and on-premise infrastructure
- Troubleshoot complex system issues under pressure
- Implement security best practices for network and infrastructure components
Cultural Competencies
- First Principles Thinking: Questions existing infrastructure assumptions, designs solutions from root causes rather than patching symptoms. Asks "why do we need this?" before "how do we build this?"
- Speed Meets Quality: Moves fast to implement critical infrastructure changes while maintaining rigorous testing and rollback procedures. Balances rapid deployment with system stability.
- 200% Ownership: Takes end-to-end responsibility for platform reliability. When systems fail, doesn't just fix the immediate issue but implements preventive measures. Owns the entire infrastructure lifecycle from design to decommissioning.
