What makes you a great fit
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and
cloud-native platform engineering concepts
- Practical experience operating or
developing for Kafka, PostgreSQL,
YugaByteDB, or other stateful distributed
systems
- A solid understanding of reliability
engineering, observability, incident
response, and safe production change
- Experience building automation or selfservice tooling that improves developer
experience and reduces operational toil
- Good judgement, strong collaboration skills,
a track record of engaging positively with
users of an internal platform, and the ability
to balance technical depth with pragmatic
delivery
