running stateful agent infrastructure inside someone else's cluster is new territory. as our FDE intern, you'll help define what reliable, repeatable on-prem agent deployment looks like across customers running us in their own environments.

• help pull diverged customer forks back onto one supported chart, with guardrails.
• contribute to onboarding so a new customer deploys in days, not weeks.
• debug across the stack: temporal workflows, k8s init ordering, storage, auth-refresh pipelines.
• support the security surface: CVE triage, patching, RCAs.
