• Knowledge of Prometheus, Grafana, logging solutions, and alerting mechanisms.
• Understanding of Kubernetes networking, including Services, Ingress, and Network Policies.
• Knowledge of infrastructure and application security, RBAC, secrets management, and least-privilege access principles.
• Familiarity with PKI, TLS/mTLS, certificate lifecycle management, and cert-manager.
• Understanding of enterprise identity and access management, including OIDC/SAML, SSO, MFA, and service-account security.
• Familiarity with HashiCorp Vault, External Secrets Operator, or equivalent secrets management solutions.
• Experience with or willingness to work on Kubernetes-enabled devices and IoT platform integration.
• Familiarity with Azure or AWS.

Benefits

• Diverse and technically challenging projects.
• Flexible working hours and a hybrid or remote workplace model.
• Flexible schedule and an Agile/SCRUM environment.
• Technical equipment that you can choose.
