  • Background in Infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering
  • Experience operating production systems in AWS
  • Strong understanding of Linux, Kubernetes, and containerized systems

  • Comfortable leading teams through incidents and operational challenges

What success looks like:

  • The team delivers reliably with clear ownership and priorities
