• Experience with system-level testing and automation, including performance, load, reliability, or fault-injection testing.
• Understanding of distributed-systems concepts, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and secure software-development practices.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cloud platforms, such as Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Experience with data-plane platforms, distributed storage, microservices, state management, replication, or large-scale data processing.
• Experience with observability, incident management, Infrastructure as Code, and production service operations.
