• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, production deployments, monitoring, observability, incident management, and on-call responsibilities.
• Ability to work across both application and infrastructure layers when solving complex technical problems.
• Strong engineering judgment with a focus on building pragmatic, maintainable, production-quality systems.
• Demonstrated ability to independently take projects from architecture and design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing ownership.
• Experience with enterprise security, compliance, SOC 2, access management, data governance, or vendor security reviews is highly valued.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical engineering teams.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage, rapidly changing environment where engineers are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy.
