3. Monitoring and Operational Visibility

• Help improve monitoring dashboards, alerts, and operational visibility.
• Develop tooling that simplifies log analysis, diagnostics, and operational troubleshooting.
• Assist engineering teams in identifying operational risks earlier through better tooling and insights.

4. Collaboration with DevOps and Platform Teams

• Good command of written and spoken English.
• Strong scripting or programming skills (at least one of the following: C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, or similar).
