• You have proven experience defining SLOs/SLIs and error budgets and automating self-healing and orchestrated failover to meet strict RTO/RPO targets
• You have hands-on experience leading chaos/failure-injection experiments with tools such as Chaos Mesh, Gremlin, or AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS)
