Lead technical initiatives around observability, incident response, and operational excellence — building systems that enable rapid detection and resolution of issues

Strong fluency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools — Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
Solid understanding of Kubernetes, container orchestration, networking, and cloud security at scale
Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Sentry) and incident response practices (PagerDuty, Incident.io)
