• Experience deploying or supporting enterprise observability, AIOps, network management, or infrastructure monitoring platforms; demonstrated success with Fortune 500 / large enterprise customers.
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms, APIs, and modern infrastructure architecture; experience translating business requirements into technical designs and implementation plans.
