  • Experience supporting large-scale data platforms, data pipelines, or analytics infrastructure
  • Strong experience operating production systems in AWS at scale
  • Experience defining and managing SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets
  • Strong background in monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog)
  • Experience leading incident management and conducting postmortems
  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or CloudFormation)
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud architecture
  • Experience with containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Knowledge of AWS services related to data platforms (e.g., S3, EMR, Lambda, Kinesis, Glue, Redshift)
