  • Appreciate the importance of observability and monitoring, and are fearless in defining and instrumenting SLOs and SLAs.
  • The words containerization and orchestration bring a smile to your face.
  • Self-starter, proactive, motivated, and responsible, passionate about engineering excellence and delivering quality solutions.
