- Write resilient systems that gracefully handle failure across large-scale distributed environments.
- Define and implement Service-Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service-Level Indicators (SLIs) for Kubernetes services, workloads, and the platform.
- Drive into systems at a low level to solve unique cluster problems and write up the findings.
- Assist customers with high-level Kubernetes questions and integrations with applications, storage, and authentication.
- Assist with initial cluster buildouts and validation to help identify failed hardware before customer delivery.
