• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly Terraform, including designing self-serve platforms for other engineering teams.
• Hands-on autoscaling and capacity engineering, and container orchestration with ECS and/or EKS.
• Track record making deploys safe and self-serve for other teams, not just your own.

• Observability tooling at scale (Datadog).
• Experience in healthcare or other regulated environments.
• Experience with event-driven systems.
