• Hands-on experience with core observability tools, such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), Jaeger, OpenTelemetry, etc.
• Experience with containerisation and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform)
• Proficiency in Python as your primary engineering language

Nice to Have

• Previous experience in a DevOps, SRE, or developer experience role
• Experience with multiple cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their native observability services
• Contributions to open-source observability projects
• A track record of prototyping and sketching new solutions to complex problems
