Perform gradual container migration, decommission legacy nodes, and rebalance services;

Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals (VLANs, routing, firewalls) and NFS administration (performance, permissions);
Practical experience with Docker Swarm (overlay networking, services, secrets, constraints) and a strong understanding of Kubernetes (EKS and self-managed);
Ability to build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and container delivery;
Experience with Terraform (preferred) or other IaC tools;
Scripting skills in Bash and PowerShell, with basic Python knowledge; experience with Ansible automation;
Upper-Intermediate or higher English (spoken and written).

Would be a great plus:
