Experience in platform engineering - you've built and operated (not just consumed) most, but not necessarily all of: CI/CD and GitOps systems (GitLab CI, Argo CD, Kargo), infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm), observability and monitoring tooling (VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, Loki, Tempo), and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). What the team owns is whether the tools engineers use to build, deploy, and observe their services are good enough that reliability is actually achievable, and with hundreds of engineers and dozens of services leaning on that at once, the platform has to be fast, correct, and boring in the best sense.
