Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and modern DevOps practices
Experience improving operational outcomes (incident response, alert quality, troubleshooting speed, telemetry governance, or cost optimization)
Ability to lead complex technical conversations with practitioners and engineering leadership
Strong written communication skills for architecture summaries, optimization plans, and executive-ready updates
A pragmatic, consultative mindset focused on solving real-world production problems
Nice to Have
