Nice to have

  • Confidence in troubleshooting complex systems issues independently using observability tools and service logs
  • Ability to identify and automate highly manual tasks, driving ongoing improvements within and across teams
  • Comfort with large scale production systems and technologies - for example, load balancing, monitoring, distributed systems, or configuration management
  • Proficiency with programming languages such as Java, Python, Bash, JavaScript, Go or similar languages and be comfortable coding and/or utilizing tooling built in these languages
  • Ability to work with a high level of autonomy and responsibility in a rapidly changing environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in multi-functional teams
