Thorough understanding of distributed systems fundamentals, failure modes, and resilience patterns that prevent cascading outages.Track record of building and continuously improving observability (metrics/logs/traces), alert quality, and incident response processes for complex, high-traffic environments.Hands-on performance optimization, capacity planning, and reliability engineering (load testing, bottleneck analysis, degradation strategies).Proven ability to build and operate Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines, including safe deployment practices and change risk controls.Experience debugging and operating JVM-based applications in production (e.g., understanding of GC, thread analysis, heap profiling).Working knowledge of database systems, key-value stores, caching layers, message queues, and storage infrastructure at scale.Familiarity with video streaming technologies, codecs, protocols, and media delivery infrastructure.
