5+ years using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK, Cloud Formation) and/or Git Ops best practices.
3+ years operating and troubleshooting production Kubernetes environments.
3+ years applying AWS Well-Architected Framework principles across reliability, security, performance, and cost pillars.

Deep knowledge of observability tooling — metrics, logging, distributed tracing — and how to use them to drive reliability.
Solid understanding of data retention, backup, and recovery processes across cloud-native systems.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines, release management, and deployment automation.
Familiarity with service mesh, API gateway patterns, and microservices architectures.
AI Fluency
Proficient with agentic coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Augment, Git Hub Copilot) for day-to-day engineering tasks.
Able to use AI to break down complex infrastructure tasks, accelerate design documentation, and improve code review quality.
Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs and identify when outputs are suboptimal or unsafe.
Leadership & Collaboration
Proven ability to lead technical discussions, drive alignment across engineering and product, and communicate decisions clearly to stakeholders.
Experience mentoring junior and mid-level engineers in both technical skills and professional development.
Able to operate independently with minimal supervision; comfortable making final technical decisions as DRI.
Strong communication skills in English — written and verbal — with experience influencing cross-functional partners.
