  • Deep expertise in at least one SRE discipline such as automation, monitoring, DevOps, or cloud operations.
  • Expertise in AWS and Kubernetes including high-availability architectures, DR strategies, Docker, and ArgoCD.
  • Proficiency in a modern programming language like Go, Java, Python, or Ruby for application development and automation.
  • Extensive experience in observability and performance tuning using tools like Splunk, Wavefront, AppDynamics, Prometheus, or distributed tracing.
