• Participation in customer projects: design, creation, and operation of Kubernetes-based solutions in interaction with our platform services
• Close collaboration with our development teams to continuously expand self-service functions and deployment processes
• Active participation in the development of standards, best practices, and automations both in customer projects and in our internal platform
