• Demonstrated experience designing observability and incident response systems for complex production environments.
• Proven ownership of infrastructure migrations, security improvements, and reliability initiatives.
• AI-native engineering habits: You already use AI coding agents extensively in your daily development workflow and have built automation that meaningfully reduces engineering toil.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to build internal tools, automation frameworks, and production-grade infrastructure services.
