• Proven experience debugging distributed systems in production (latency, error rates, timeouts, retries, cascading failures)
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments
• Experience with Helm and GitOps workflows (FluxCD preferred; ArgoCD acceptable)
• Solid PostgreSQL troubleshooting experience (performance, incident patterns, migrations)
• Observability experience (metrics/logging/tracing; Datadog/Grafana/Tempo/Loki experience is a plus)
• Strong incident leadership: calm under pressure, clear communication, structured problem-solving
• Engineering hygiene: PR discipline, reviews, testing mindset, safe rollouts/rollbacks
• Comfortable with IAM/security fundamentals in real production systems: OAuth2/OIDC basics, RBAC/least privilege, and safe secrets handling
