• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including networking, storage, compute, and managed services.
• Production experience architecting and managing Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms.

• Background building and operating cloud or data infrastructure, with experience in CI/CD, observability, security, and access control.
• Experience designing database infrastructure for relational and NoSQL systems at scale.
• Comfort making architectural decisions and building from scratch in an early-stage or high-growth environment, with a stable employment history.
