• Proficiency in Go (or similar languages) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), with a track record of building automation and platform tooling.
• Experience building reliable, observable platforms, defining SLIs/SLOs, and establishing these practices as team standards.
• On-call experience, including incident resolution and driving architectural improvements through postmortems and technical decision-making.
