Requirements

  • Experience with GitOps tools such as FluxCD or ArgoCD

  • Proven experience in incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems in production systems

  • Solid experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines

  • Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, and logging stacks like ELK or CloudWatch

  • Strong understanding of networking concepts and protocols

  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g. Python, Go, Node.js)

  • Experience working with version control systems (Git)

  • Familiarity with incident management tools like PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or similar

  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment with strong ownership and accountability

  • Proactive, resilient mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and system stability
