• Familiarity with incident response, postmortems, and continuous improvement processes.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills in distributed systems.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and operations teams.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred, though relevant experience is valued.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio).
• Background in microservices architecture and its challenges.
• Familiarity with security best practices in cloud-based systems.
