Required Qualifications
What We Are Looking For:
- Strong systems and infrastructure mindset
- Comfortable working across modern and legacy environments
- Calm under pressure during outages or failures
- Pragmatic and delivery-focused, with a bias toward keeping systems running.
- Strong collaborator across engineering disciplines
- Adopts an SRE mindset, focusing on reliability, observability, and continuous improvement of running systems.
Key Technical Proficiencies
Key Technical Proficiencies:

- Familiarity with GitOps approaches and tools such as ArgoCD.
- Strong understanding of Network fundamentals, Zero Trust solutions, service to service communications and distributed system connectivity.
- Ability to diagnose issues across infrastructure, networking, and application layers.
- Experience supporting or integrating legacy and non-cloud-native systems alongside modern infrastructure.
- Experience in developing with Go or Python as well as shell scripting.
- Experience applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices such as monitoring, alerting, incident response, and service reliability improvement.
