• Ensure service availability and be part of an on-call rotation.

• Experience on Kubernetes, DC/OS or Docker Swarm.

• Knowledge on basic protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS and debugging traffic.

• Have previous experience handling high amounts of traffic.

• Have vast experience with schedulers like Kubernetes, Marathon or similar with some sort of service mesh in use.
