  • Experience with workload isolation or secure execution environments.
  • Experience with queue-based or asynchronous processing systems at scale, such as Kafka, SQS, or similar systems.
  • Experience with resource estimation, capacity planning, and cost optimization in the cloud.
  • Ability to drive cross-team adoption of operational practices such as on-call, SLOs, and postmortems.
