• Solve complex AKS issue (networking, scaling, controllers, identity integration)
• Implement and maintain Workload identity patterns for AKS workloads
• Improve team practices through tooling, documentation, and automation improvements
• Perform technical reviews to ensure quality, security, and consistency
• Mentor junior AI Infrastructure Engineers, fostering growth and development of team members through knowledge-sharing, constructive code review, and by setting the standard for best practices
