• Familiar with monitoring and observability tools (Datadog or similar).
• Strong problem‑solver with the ability to dive deep into complex technical issues.
• Financial services or exposure to data‑intensive domains is preferred.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
