  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks, bugs, and performance issues in distributed systems and cloud-native environments.
  • Stay updated on the latest Kubernetes developments and incorporate relevant improvements into the ScyllaDB Operator.
  • Promote knowledge sharing within the team through documentation, code reviews, and training sessions.

Advantages:

  • Experience writing Kubernetes Controllers/Operators.

  • Experience with ScyllaDB, Apache Cassandra, or other NoSQL databases.
  • Knowledge of database lifecycle management, including backup, scaling, upgrades, and disaster recovery.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana.
  • Hands-on experience with multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud deployments.
