• Demonstrated ability to debug, profile, and optimize complex systems
• A self-directed approach with the ability to identify and solve system issues without handholding
• Experience in fast-paced environments where reliability and performance are paramount
• A proactive mindset that anticipates risk, foresees performance bottlenecks, and proposes forward-thinking solutions
