• Strong understanding of reliability, security, cost management, and developer experience tradeoffs in cloud platforms.
• Ability to partner with engineering teams as a trusted advisor while still enforcing clear cloud standards.
• Strong written communication and comfort documenting processes for audit, handoff, and operational support.
