• Strong technical depth across Linux, Kubernetes, containers, and Infrastructure as Code.


• Experience with at least one major public cloud: AWS, GCP, or Azure.


• A solid understanding of IP networking, HTTP fundamentals, and distributed systems.


• Experience designing CI/CD pipelines and working with observability or monitoring systems.


• Strong judgment around security, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

Bonus Qualifications
