• Proven ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, optimize workflows to solve business problems, while applying critical judgment to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI outputs

• Familiarity supporting stateful services such as PostgreSQL, Kafka, MongoDB, or comparable platform dependencies

• Practical knowledge of capacity planning, load testing, chaos testing, failure-injection techniques, alert tuning, and self-healing automation
