  • Operating on‑call platforms such as PagerDuty and maintaining knowledge base/runbook documentation for consistent incident response
  • Diagnostics & Troubleshooting Performing first‑pass triage on server health, application performance, API latency, and database connectivity (e.g., SQL reachability, connection pooling)
  • Analysing logs, metrics, and system indicators to narrow down root‑cause direction during high‑pressure incidents
  • Scripting & Automation Using basic Bash, Python, or PowerShell scripts for log extraction, parsing, or system checks.
  • Assisting with automating recurring operational tasks to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
  • Cloud & Container Technologies Understanding cloud fundamentals in AWS, Azure, or GCP to support cloud‑based troubleshooting or triage.
  • Basic exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, or log stacks such as ELK/Opensearch, Splunk, or Loki/Promtail to aid with diagnosing distributed workloads.
