  • Proficiency in at least one general-purpose language such as Go, Python, or Java.
  • Experience operating high-cardinality, high-throughput metrics and log pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of SLOs, error budgets, and SRE principles.
  • Experience integrating observability with CI/CD and incident management tooling.
  • Solid grasp of Linux internals, networking, and container platforms.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Thanos, Mimir, Cortex, Loki, or Tempo at scale.
