  • Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to produce clear documentation, runbooks, post-mortems, and technical guidance.
  • Eligible to hold UK SC clearance, including the right to work in the UK and meeting the stated residency requirements.
  • Specific OpenShift or OKD experience, including operators, MachineConfig, or SCCs, is desirable.
  • Service mesh experience such as Istio or Linkerd is desirable.
  • Policy engine experience such as OPA, Gatekeeper, or Kyverno is desirable.
  • Cloud-native application deployment experience using Helm, Terraform, Kustomize, or similar is desirable.
