• At least 3 years working with monitoring, log aggregation, and observability platforms such as Datadog, CloudWatch, Honeycomb, Splunk, or New Relic, using data-driven insights to proactively identify and resolve issues. 
• Excellent analytical skills with the ability to understand end-to-end use cases, map system flows, debug complex issues, and anticipate potential failure points. 
• Proven track record translating SLO’s and SLI’s into actionable improvements. Reliability, monitoring, and observability are not just words to you. 
• At least 3 years of experience with cloud technologies, in particular AWS Services and tools such as Cloud Formation, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, EC2, S3, AWS CLI, Boto3.
