Observability & Monitoring: Hands-on experience with modern observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch).

Scripting & Automation: Strong scripting proficiency in languages such as Python, Bash, or Go.

Security-First Approach: Solid understanding of cloud security fundamentals, network architecture (VPCs, firewalls, load balancers), permissions segregations and secrets management.

Bonus: Experience operating infrastructure in regulated environments, payments, FinTech, or crypto/blockchain platforms.

Bonus: Exposure to AI-assisted developer workflows or automation tooling.
