Don't look now but this is how people end up with k8s as well. "We need Kubernetes because we need containers." Google et al convinced people it's the only way to run containers in prod.

Only thing I'll say is it won't be Apple, since they did none of the above/didn't get into the "hiring Spree" in the same way all the rest of the tech giants did, which includes what I'd call FAANG-adjacent spots like Uber, etc.
Remote: On-prem in the city of Seattle or Remote are both fine.
Willing to Relocate: No.
Technologies: Linux, Windows, AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Ansible, MySQL, Jenkins/CircleCI, etc.
Resume: Please see https://gvtek0.com which gives a rundown of my experience. I can provide my full resume on request.

The website above has a timeline of my experience with a bit of detail about each stop along the way. You can also contact me using the social links on the home page, if you'd like to chat. I am specifically looking for mid-level roles, I do not necessarily consider myself a senior, since I've been a generalist for my entire career. I'd love the opportunity to join a great team that includes some developers I can also learn from. My goal is to eventually become more of a full stack/Senior DevOps engineer (I also have a strong interest in working in security down the line), which is why I want to be around a solid development team. Building my programming chops is a huge goal right now, and part of that growth comes from finding the right team. I am primarily looking for a role that falls under the titles of SysAdmin/SysEng, DevOps, SRE, etc.
