Provide technical oversight and architectural guidance to Kubernetes-related development efforts. Understand and support the evolution of MAC and DAD automation components as part of the broader product strategy. Work cross-functionally with Product Management and other Engineering teams to translate customer needs into actionable product features. Participate in architecture reviews, proofs-of-concept, and technical strategy planning.
