Additional Skills & Qualifications:

Nice to Have: - Ownership, consultative mindset, no hand-holding, able to drive the vision AND come up with new ideas is a huge perk - Experience with data science, data platforms, data teams, etc. The vision is to bring data science workloads into the clusters next. - Improving monitoring and automation. They're currently using Dynatrace. - Development experience is a plus - Working with microservices and RESTful APIs is a plus - understanding those concepts at the very least. - Working with development/apps teams Environment is very fresh. Clusters immature. Will have at least 4 clusters, more to come. Smaller team so need true ownership and ability to remove your own blockers. Speak up about ideas. Someone that has seen some rollouts in their days, some "battle scars" (aka been there done that). Someone that can add to the vision. Very collaborative atmosphere. Everything checked in and deployed thru the piplines, buildign things that are compliant straight out the box.
