  • You must have hands-on experience with distributed systems at production scale.
  • You must have experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
  • You must be familiar with observability practices including SLOs, error budgets, alerting, and dashboards.
  • You must have a track record of leading technical projects end-to-end, including cross-team coordination.
