    • Good programming skills and ability to apply sound coding principles to IaC and scripting code with languages such as Terraform, Ansible, Bash (shell scripting), and/or Python.

    • Experience with monitoring and observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, OpenTelemetry)Proficiency with CI/CD tools and pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, etc.)

    • Ability to debug complex systems and automate solutions in scripting languages

    • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally
