Experience implementing observability frameworks including metrics, logging, and distributed tracing (e.g. OpenTelemetry).

Experience translating Non‐Functional Requirements (NFRs) into measurable signals and dashboards.

Strong problem‐solving skills with the ability to operate in fast‐paced, evolving environments.

and learning through iteration.
