- Experience operating across hybrid cloud environments (AWS, Azure, OpenStack) and container platforms such as Kubernetes or OpenShift
- Strong collaboration with monitoring and reliability engineering teams to enhance observability, supportability, and incident readiness using tools like Splunk, AppDynamics, and or other APM/observability suites
- Proven ability to apply SRE principles to analyze complex systems, identify reliability gaps, and drive long‑term improvements in stability and performance
- Proven influence across cross‑functional engineering teams, with a strong foundation in cloud security concepts and experience in incident, problem, and change management processes
