Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, Java, or similar) for systems-level automation and tooling

Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) including networking, IAM, and managed services

Expert-level knowledge of container orchestration (Kubernetes) and microservices architectures

Demonstrated experience defining SLOs/SLIs and managing error budgets in production environments

Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts: consensus algorithms, CAP theorem, eventual consistency, and fault-tolerant design

Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) and configuration management

Experience with CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and GitOps workflows

Strong Linux systems administration skills and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, CDN)

Proven track record of leading incident response, writing effective post-mortems, and implementing systemic fixes
