• You are fluent in core SRE practices (monitoring, automation, CI / CD, incident response, IaC)
• You have experience working in or managing teams using Microsoft Azure
• You’re familiar with ITIL processes, especially incident and problem management
• You understand agile delivery models and can act as or closely collaborate with Scrum Masters
