• 3-6 years of technical support, SRE, sysadmin, or engineering experience in a production environment.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across Linux systems, networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP), and REST APIs.
• Proficiency reading logs, traces, and error output; comfort with scripting in Python, Bash, or similar.

• Debug issues using log analysis, packet capture (tcpdump/Wireshark), and monitoring tools (Datadog, Splunk, or similar).
• Serve as the communication bridge during incidents — deliver status updates to enterprise customers and coordinate with on-call engineers.
