Senior Dev Ops

I'm interested in tasks where it's important not only to "get the infrastructure up and running," but also to build it so the team can quickly release and the product can grow steadily under load. I'm well-versed in the Kubernetes ecosystem, CI/CD, clouds, and modern DevOps tools, but I also know how to communicate with product managers, explain risks in simple terms, and find a balance between speed and security.
I enjoy analyzing bottlenecks, automating repetitive tasks, and
building processes with a safety margin so the platform can withstand any peak periods.
