This is a top-tier, hands-on individual contributor role for a true Kubernetes guru. You are not just deploying services; you are architecting the very fabric of our container platform, solving complex challenges in multi-tenant isolation, network policy, and storage. You will be the go-to expert for troubleshooting the gnarliest infrastructure problems and for performance tuning the Kubernetes control plane and data plane to handle institutional-grade workloads in a secure, regulated environment.
