    • Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, logging systems, Open Telemetry)
    • Ingress and traffic management
    • Secrets and certificate management
    • Prior experience integrating infrastructure platforms into an Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
  • Understanding of SRE concepts (SLOs, error budgets, incident response)

Soft Skills
